Terms of Use

Welcome to Pass the Chord. By using this website you agree to these terms. This is a general template — please have it reviewed by a qualified professional before relying on it.

Who we are

Pass the Chord is a nonprofit organization that collects, refurbishes, and donates musical instruments to families and students, and also buys instruments new when that's the best way to fill a request.

Instrument requests and donations

• Submitting a request does not guarantee an instrument. When a request comes in we work to source one — donated and refurbished, or bought new — and we'll keep you updated, including if we can't find a match.
• When you offer to donate an instrument, you confirm it is yours to give. We may decline items we're unable to use or restore.
• We arrange pickups and handoffs in good faith but cannot guarantee specific timing.

Monetary donations

Pass the Chord is not yet a registered 501(c)(3), and we are working toward that status. Until it is granted, gifts to Pass the Chord are not tax-deductible and we cannot issue tax receipts. We'll update this page if that changes. If you believe a donation was made in error, contact us at info@passthechord.org and we'll do our best to help.

Acceptable use

Please use this site lawfully and don't attempt to disrupt it, misuse our forms, or submit false information.

Disclaimer

This website is provided "as is." We work hard to keep information accurate, but we make no warranties about its completeness or availability, and we're not liable for any loss arising from its use to the fullest extent permitted by law.
