Help Us Move Into Our New Space!
For the first time in our history, We Are Instrumental is opening a permanent home base in Ticonderoga. This new space will allow us to restore more instruments, offer in-person lessons, host repair workshops, and welcome guest artists—all under one roof.
By joining our Monthly Sustain Squad, you'll provide the reliable support needed to help us move in, grow our programs, and reach more students across Northern New York. As a founding member, you'll be able to say: "I helped build it from the beginning."
Every Child Deserves Access to Music
Music education builds confidence, creativity, discipline, and connection. Yet many students in rural communities lack access to the instruments and opportunities they need to participate.
Since 2020, We Are Instrumental has:
- Restored and distributed 700+ instruments
- Supported 30+ schools
- Connected thousands of students with lessons, performances, and enrichment opportunities
In the coming year, we will:
- Provide 1,000+ free private lessons
- Train 40+ teachers in instrument repair
- Send hundreds of students to world-class performances
- Expand our Music Summit, by connecting 25 renowned musicians to students and create even more opportunities for students throughout the North Country.
Every donation helps provide instruments, instruction, and life-changing musical experiences for children across Northern New York.
Have A Donor Assisted Fund (DAF)*? Click HERE:
*A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account that is set up for the sole purpose of supporting charities. Individuals can contribute cash, stocks, or other assets into the DAF and receive an immediate tax deduction. Those funds are invested for tax-free growth and the individual can recommend donations to charities of their choice over time. Donor-advised funds are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle because they are the easiest, and most tax-savvy way to give to charities like WAI.
