Cleaning and repairing an instrument can cost between $50-$200. Used band instruments donated to the BIRD are serviced by trained repair techs before being donated to school band programs in need, and we rely on your tax-deductible contributions to the BIRD repair fund to pay the techs for their services.

Your sponsorship keeps live, high-quality music free and accessible across Rhode Island. Every sponsorship helps RIWE fulfill its mission of providing audiences of diverse ages and cultural backgrounds access to live music of the highest quality, faithfully presenting the best in traditional wind band repertoire alongside music of underrepresented and historically disenfranchised communities.Because RIWE does not typically charge admission to our concerts, we depend on the generosity of concert sponsors like yourself to continue bringing musical excellence to the Ocean State. Since RIWE is a non-profit 501-C3 organization, your support is tax-deductible. Our normal operating expenses include rehearsal hall rental, music purchase, equipment transport, insurance, and conductor salary.
