I have an upright piano with bench that I am willing to donate. Will you accept this type of large item?

Hello Katie, thank you for your offer. You would need to contact Downtown Eastside Studio Society directly. CharityWishList.ca does not accept donations.
But the charity listed (Downtown Eastside Studio Society) on the same page you posted to would likely be thrilled to accept your donations of a piano as they accept musical instruments.

Hi Jenny, thank you for asking and the offer of a piano. CharityWishList.ca doesn’t accept any items itself. The website is meant to help people find charities near them that are interested in what you want to give away, and then you would contact the charity directly. Pianos are a really tough item to place for many reasons. I would suggest you try local churches, schools, retirement homes near you. Or Royal Canadian Legions, or music schools who may know of a child in need if you can’t find a charity. If that doesn’t work, maybe a pub who would give you gift certificates in exchange and then you could donate the gift certificates if you want to a charity near you. I hope this helps. – Michelle Beaupre, Owner, CharityWishList.ca
Hello. I’m wondering if you know of any charities or organizations that help low income elementary students with musical instruments so they can participate in their school band program? These are students who will not be able to participate otherwise. Thank you very much for any help.
Hi Jess, yes, try Vancouver Public Library https://www.vpl.ca/instruments
I have a upright Sherwood Manning Piano that I would like to donate. Do you accept and how would I go about donating?
Hi Cathy, thank you for the offer of a piano. CharityWishList.ca is like a directory to help you find charities that are interested in the types of things you want to give away. I actually don’t accept any items myself. But I do know of a Vancouver Charity that contacted me recently. I will let you know if they want me to send you their contact information. Located in Vancouver.
Pianos are really hard to find new homes for, since they tend to cost money to move, and there are a lot of used pianos out there that are available from people inheriting but not themselves playing. When I do find an organization interested, they tend to only want one and then it’s a search all over again. Good to try local churches, schools, retirement homes, music schools … I’ll let you know if the charity I contacted is interested in a potential piano donation. Thanks, Michelle
