Overview:
You will shop on the Woodwind&Brasswind site to assemble an order, but you will not place your order with them. Rather, you will assemble the order and then email it to ClassWish for us to place.  Please follow these easy directions.
1.   Check Your ClassWish Account Balance and Get Your ClassWish ID#
  • Log into http://ClassWish.org.  Click “My Account” in the upper right corner of any page other than the home page.  The third tab, “Donations Received and Requests Placed,” shows your balance.
  • If you want more supplies than your balance allows, you can make a tax-deductible contribution to your own wish list before or right after you shop.
  • Please make note of your ClassWish account number, which appears within the URL of your wish list page.
2.   Shopping for the Music Supplies You Need
  • Shop like you normally would; simply add items to your cart on that website.
  • Proceed to checkout.
  • Sign in as a guest or with your account, as you prefer.
3.   Follow the Process Below.
  • Shipping Address.  You must provide the school address.  We cannot ship to your home.  
  • Email: Please enter the same email address as you used to register with ClassWish.org.
  • Phone:  Provide the school phone # in case of delivery problems.
  • Choose a Shipping method.
Continue to next step.
Now, prepare an email to submit your Request to ClassWish so we can place the order for you.  Include:
  • Your school's shipping address (circled in red in the illustration to the right).  
  • Your school's phone #.
  • Copy and Paste the entire Shopping Cart (circled in blue in the illustration to the right)  into that email.  Be sure it includes all the items, the freight, tax and total.  
  • Your first and last name
  • Your ClassWish ID# (which will appear within the URL of your ClassWish wish list page)
  • Disregard the Payment section (the black X in the illustration to the right).

Do NOT provide your credit card info.  You are only using the Woodwind&Brasswind site to assemble the order, not to place it.
    • The following paragraph, which you can copy & paste:
“I hereby request these materials from ClassWish.  I confirm that they are for educational use in my classroom or school, and not for personal use.  I will abide by the ClassWish.org User Agreement, which appears at http://classwish.org/classwish/user_agreement.  I understand that ClassWish will purchase these materials and will deduct from my ClassWish Wish List account the amount that appears on the Woodwind&Brasswind shopping cart summary, including shipping and tax, if any.  I further understand that ClassWish is donating these materials to my school for my use in my classroom.  I agree that these items are not returnable.”   
  
Please note that in order to keep costs down, all items you request are non-returnable.

If the total amount of your Request exceeds the amount in your ClassWish account, you can visit your ClassWish page and make a tax-deductible donation to cover the shortfall.  See if your spouse's employer will match that donation.
4.   Emailing Your Request to ClassWish
  • Please review the email to make sure your order is correct and that you did not skip any of the steps.
  • Please add this subject line:  Teacher request for Woodwind&Brasswind
  • Then just send that email to Request AT ClassWish.org  (be sure to change the “AT” to an @ sign.  Like many websites, we display it this way to reduce the risk of robots grabbing the email address for spamming.
  • Be sure to send the email to us from the email address you used to register with ClassWish, as that helps ensure the security of your account.  

If your order exceeds the amount in your ClassWish Wish List account, please visit ClassWish.org to make a tax-deductible contribution to your own wish list right after you place your request.
5.  What Happens Next 
  • We will check to make sure you have enough funds in your ClassWish account.  
  • If so, we will deduct the order amount from your ClassWish account.
  • We will submit the order to Woodwind&Brasswind and pay for it.
  • We will send you a confirmation.
  • Woodwind&Brasswind will ship the materials to you at your school.  
  • You and your students will get the resources you need.
  • You will tell other teachers so they can get support, too.  In fact, why not do that, right now?
How to attract more donations

People want to help kids.  All you have to do is let them know your wish list exists.  Use the social media buttons on your page to share via Facebook and Twitter; link to it from your blog; email it to friends; and see the link on your wish list page to more tips.

Finally, please help us help more teachers and children by spreading the word of ClassWish.org within your school and beyond.

Thank you very much for this opportunity to help you and your students!

Best wishes,

The ClassWish team
