For School Directors:
Band of Angels assists many schools over a large area. Our goal is to provide instruments for one or two deserving students in need per school director. We do not have the resources to provide instruments for an entire class.
For Parents and Students:
The instruments Band of Angels provides to students are theirs to keep for as long as they’d like. We do ask that any instrument recipient who is no longer playing return the instrument to us, so we can provide it to another child.
Typically, we will contact you in 2-3 weeks after applying to let you know whether or not you have been accepted. Applications that are missing information or are inaccurate will take longer to process and may not be accepted.
Yes, provided Band of Angels finds you eligible for both. Please make sure you have filled out both applications.
The instrument you receive from Band of Angels is yours to keep, and we expect instrument recipients to be responsible for repairs, maintenance and upkeep. However, we understand that not everyone can afford the expense. Please reach out to us if you cannot afford a repair for your instrument.

- Yes! We accept instruments in ANY condition.
- Instruments that can be repaired are restored to playing condition before given to a child.
- If an instrument is beyond repair, we recycle the instrument into a work of art for our charity art auction, Art That Blows. The proceeds of that auction benefit our summer music camp scholarship program!
We accept monetary donations as well. Visit our donation page for more information.
We currently lack the resources to offer pickup for most instrument donations. Please contact us to give us more details about your situation if you think your donation merits a pick-up.
Band of Angels always welcomes a helping hand. We are in need of volunteers for our main fundraising events, the Heart Strings Gala and Art that Blows, as well as smaller tasks and events throughout the year. Visit our volunteer page to sign up.
