Erie, PA 16546 Donate Used Musical Instruments!
As part of Erie Arts Opportunity's ongoing efforts to provide creative outlets for inner city children at risk, we have started an instrument donation program that will put musical instruments in the hands of kids who need them. This program arose from the understanding that many children are unable to participate in school music programs because they can't afford to rent or buy an instrument.
Give your old instrument a second life in the hands of a child who really needs it. Chances are, you have an instrument in your attic that you no longer use. Maybe you studied music as a child. If so, you know the joy that music can give a child. The feeling of accomplishment that comes from learning to play music; the sense of pride, responsibility, and discipline that comes with owning and caring for an instrument; a real feeling of belonging in band or orchestra and learning to cooperate with others.
You may donate any used musical instrument (regardless of its condition) to the program, including an estimate of its worth, and receive a tax-deductible receipt.
Call us at (814) 438-7608 for more information.
Auction Items Please donate items that we can use for auctions on eBay! Area businesses are particularly encouraged to donate items. You will be able to claim the cost of these items as a deduction and will benefit EAO! If you are an eBay seller, you can go to this page: http://donations.ebay.com/charity/charity.jsp?NP_ID=31670 to designate a percentage of the proceeds to benefit EAO! Neighborhood Assistance Program A business may sponsor its own project or contribute, either through cash or in-kind, to a nonprofit community organization for a program approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. Up to 50 percent of this contribution may then be used as a tax credit on the business’s corporate tax liability with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. The total tax credit for any single business is limited to $250,000 annually. A tax credit not used by a business in the first year may be carried forward for an additional four years, for a total of five years. NAP Brochure
