Giving to BRIMS

BRIMS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and your gift is tax-deductible.
Donations can be made specifically to the Westminster House Operations by making the check out to the BRIMS-214 Operating Account.

With your help, the Blue Ridge Irish Music School hopes to build a love for Irish traditional music that will strengthen bonds of family and community, and bring music out of stereos and concert halls into the kitchens, porches, and pubs of Virginia.

In addition to funds, we also welcome donations in the form of goods and services. Our wish list includes:

- A fax machine
- Internet service
- Items for the small but growing music library
- Office supplies, especially padded envelopes (for mailing cds)
- Pro-bono accountant services
- Laptop computer for our director
- Brochure and website creation services
- Sound equipment for recording or performing
