Our Mission and Process

Girl Playing Violingearpipe.org’s mission is to mobilize musicians and music lovers to donate to music education charities, thereby supporting and giving back to a new generation of musicians.

How does it work?
We like to spread the love around!

Each month, we team up with one online musical instruments retailer and one music education charity. The retailer pledges to pay back a percentage of all sales from gearpipe.org users. We donate 100% of that amount to that month’s charity.

Pretty simple, huh?

What makes gearpipe.org different?
We know money can be tight. Although you believe in music education, and you’d love to support music education charities, it’s not always in the budget.

However, as a musician you’re always buying something, even if it’s just a set of guitar strings or a pair drum sticks. By making these purchases from our monthly retail partner, you know that part of the money you paid will be reinvested in kids that will someday be entertaining us.

How are orders and donations tracked?
This is important.

Our retail partners use cookies to keep track of shoppers who came from gearpipe.org. This makes it easy for you, as you don’t have to enter in promo codes or save your receipts.

The one thing you do have to do is go to the retail sites by clicking a link on our site. This is how they set the cookie and keep track of you. Note that you don’t have to click on the featured link on our home page, any link to this month’s partner retailer will work.
