The Instrument Loan Program loans instruments to schools that currently do not have an instrumental music program. YMF's mentors provide classroom and after-school instruction to the children receiving the instruments. To date, the program has loaned more than 400 instruments to eleven elementary schools. An annual Holiday Instrument Drive collects used instrumentalists that YMF can refurbish.

Calling all music lovers! Do you have an instrument that is no longer being used? A violin? A clarinet? A flute? If so, you can keep music education alive in our schools by donating it to Young Musicians Foundation. Young Musicians Foundation provides instruments and music instruction to underfunded music programs in elementary schools across Los Angeles County. In many schools, music classes do not exist without this type of charitable funding. Each instrument means a world of music for a child. Please donate your instrument today!

To donate an instrument and help keep music in our schools, please print out this form and fill in the required information. Then, simply mail or drop off this form and your instrument to the address listed below. YMF will have the instrument repaired if needed, have the instrument appraised, and provide the donor with a tax-deduction letter.

YMF accepts the following instruments: piano/keyboard, violin, viola, cello, string bass, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, oboe, bassoon, French horn, trumpet, and trombone. To donate any instruments not listed above, we recommend contacting Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation.
