Support
Live Arts and Music Education...Save your local Symphony Orchestra!
Prodigy
Instruments is aware of the growing epidemic with symphony orchestras across
the country struggling to stay alive due to great financial hardships!
Prodigy
Instruments is already committed to helping the National Philharmonic in
Rockville Maryland (NPRM) and the Virginia Symphony (VSO) by donating a portion of our sales from our customers who want to
specifically help them!
Each dollar
generated through this program is being used for the National Philharmonic's
"All Kids, All Free, All The Time" program.
In the "basket" you can select which orchestra should
receive the donation.
Prodigy is
willing to help your local symphony orchestra too by donating a percentage of
designated sales back to your symphony orchestra!
Simply bring
your symphony who needs help to our attention so that we can contact them and
register that organization with the Prodigy Instruments Philharmonic Donation
Project.
For a limited
time customers who buy products from Prodigy Instruments can designate 10% of
each instrument and case sale, 5% of each strings and accessory sale, and 3% of rentals as long as the total amounts to at least $50, back to
that symphony orchestra that needs your help! You only
need to register your orchestra and link your orchestra's web page to
www.prodigyinstruments.com so that the orchestra members can easily
take advantage of the donation program.
Contact
us to have your symphony added to the list now!
Hope to hear
about your orchestra soon!

about the Prodigy Instruments Symphony Donation Project
How do I donate money to my orchestra?
At any time while browsing our web site, you can select an orchestra to donate
money to. As soon as you selected an orchestra, you will see in the basket
exactly how much of your purchase will be donated.
How much exactly of my sale will you donate?
Prodigy Instruments will donate 10% of each instrument
sale, and 5% of each strings and
accessory
sale over $50, tax, shipping and handling excluded. Featured items excluded.
When will my orchestra get the donation?
At the end of every month,Prodigy Instruments will issue checks
to the orchestras that customers opted to donated money to.
Can I change orchestra?
You can change orchestra at any time during the purchase process. The donation
is registered when you click the button to process the order. The order
confirmation will indicate exactly how much of the sale was donated.
To whom exactly will you send the donation?
We send the checks to the contact person for the particular
orchestra, typically the treasurer.
My orchestra is not in the list, can I add it?
You can always add a new orchestra (click here) as long as you provide some
basic information about it so that you can complete your purchase. Prodigy Instruments
will contact the orchestra and obtain necessary information so that we can
complete the donation. You can also forward this information (click here) to
your orchestra's contact person and ask that person to contactProdigy Instruments
so that we can register the orchestra with the donation program.
What kinds of orchestras are eligible to
participate in the donation program?
At this time, we focus on symphony orchestras. If you have any questions
regarding whether your orchestra is eligible, please contact us at
robert@prodigyinstruments.com.
Why should I donate any money?
First, it doesn't cost you a nickel! The donation is deducted from Prodigy
Instrument's profit.
Second, we believe that supporting orchestras is a win-win for everybody.
If I can't donate money to my High School
Orchestra, why should I care about Symphony Orchestras?
Because just about every symphony orchestra does musical programs for the
schools, often without any reimbursement, this is a way to
say thanks and "pay back". In addition, if the symphony
orchestras disappear because of lack of money, the important service
to the schools will disappear too!
I thought Symphony Orchestras had a lot of
money....
The fact is that it takes a lot of money to run a Symphony Orchestra. Public
funding is fading, which is a growing threat to the longevity of these
orchestras. Therefore, donation programs like the Prodigy Instruments
Philharmonic Donation Program, are becoming more and more important.
Do I have to donate money to my orchestra?
No, you can donate to any orchestra in the list.
Do
I have to donate money to an orchestra in order to purchase from Prodigy
Instruments?
No, donating money is entirely optional.
If your question was not in this list, please
