In addition to cash donations, Boston Conservatory at Berklee and Berklee College of Music gladly accept gifts-in-kind. A gift-in-kind is a nonmonetary contribution of goods or services. Examples of accepted tangible goods include musical instruments, equipment, auction items, and various materials related to performing arts and music education. Examples of services include donated transportation, meeting space, and professional support. Berklee will make a determination regarding acceptance of an intended gift based on the quality of the instrument or equipment, demand, and preservation required.

Berklee is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, all contributions to Boston Conservatory at Berklee and Berklee College of Music are tax deductible. Berklee is not allowed to make a determination as to the value of gifts-in-kind and must leave this responsibility to the individual donors. Please consult with your tax advisor in order to fill out the IRS 8283 form.

To speak with someone about donating a gift-in-kind, please contact Michela Doherty at mdoherty@berklee.edu.

If you'd like to direct funds via wire transfer from your U.S. or international bank, please contact Britney Blevins, gift entry and stewardship coordinator, at bblevins@berklee.edu or 617-747-2236, for wiring instructions.
