Other Ways to Give

Non-Monetary Donations

Non-monetary (in-kind) donations are always welcome! Often items such as tickets to professional athletic events and other items that can be raffled off later are donated, and this is a huge help to the cause.

Musical Instrument Donations

Musical instruments in working condition can be used as loaner instruments for elementary students who otherwise may not afford to be involved in instrumental music.

Volunteer

We have year-round volunteer opportunities for individuals who want to donate their time and talent! 
Please email volunteer@udfoundation.org to learn how you can get involved with UDAEF. We would love to hear from you!
