Donate InstrumentsGive local kids the gift of music!
When you donate a musical instrument to OrKidstra, you give kids from under-served Ottawa communities the tools they need to succeed! OrKidstra is made possible thanks to your generosity: since 2007, community members have donated over $250,000 worth of instruments.
OrKidstra is happy to accept donations of musical instruments in good working order. Donate through the Instrument Donation form below, and OrKidstra will connect with you. We provide a tax receipt for all instruments accompanied by a current appraisal at the time of donation. If you have additional questions, you may email program@orkidstra.ca. Thank you for your support!

In Memoriam
Designating OrKidstra as your charity of choice, and encouraging others to do the same, is a deeply thoughtful way to remember and be remembered.
In Memoriam: Anne Taylor, 1945-2014 – “Because music creates community and is one of the most enduring gifts we can give to children.”
In Memoriam: Peter Henry Dawson, 1937-2015 – “Because music education challenges the mind and nourishes the spirit; it opens the door to a better future.”

They will then forward the net proceeds to OrKidstra and we will send you a tax receipt.
Host a Party/EventParty with a Purpose
If you have a special occasion coming up, like a birthday or anniversary, why not make it a giving-back bash? In lieu of presents, tell your guests you’d love it if they could make a donation to OrKidstra.
The sky’s the limit for your benefit party (think tea party, bridal shower or backyard BBQ), but the event could be as simple as a one-time, casual dinner party with family and friends in the comfort of your own home.
We’ve got lots of great ideas to get you partying with a purpose like a pro!
