88 keys. One goal. A piano your community helped build.

Hollywood Piano’s Buy a Key Program turns the cost of a piano into 88 understandable sponsorship opportunities—making it easier for schools, churches, studios, nonprofits, and community organizations to rally donors around a visible goal.

A visible goal • flexible key amounts • commemorative poster • community momentum

Fundraising works better when people can see exactly what their gift accomplishes.

Instead of asking supporters to contribute to a vague capital goal, Buy a Key gives every donor a concrete piece of the project. Divide the target amount by 88, set the sponsorship level for each key, and fill the keyboard as your campaign grows. It is simple to explain, easy to share, and motivating to watch.

Practical support.
Built around music.

Set the goal

Choose the piano or equipment package and establish the total campaign target around a real musical need.

Price the keys

Divide the target by 88—or deliberately set a higher per-key amount to include delivery, tuning, benches, maintenance, or future support.

Make progress visible

Use the keyboard poster to add donor names as keys are sponsored, creating momentum people can immediately understand.

Recognize donors

Celebrate supporters with a framed display, plaque, dedication event, recital recognition, or donor wall moment when the campaign is complete.

Use it anywhere

The concept works for schools, churches, arts groups, studios, nonprofits, and other organizations with a strong community connection.

Get Hollywood Piano help

We help shape the instrument, target amount, key structure, and overall campaign so the fundraiser fits your organization.

A fundraiser people instantly understand.

Buy a Key works because the story is visual and finite: there are 88 keys, and every sponsored key brings the organization closer to the instrument. It turns a large purchase into a series of achievable gifts and gives donors a natural way to participate.

It also keeps the campaign musical. People are not just helping “fundraise”—they are helping put a piano into the hands of students, performers, or the community.

The poster becomes part of the story.

Yes—we should show the poster on the page. It helps people understand the campaign immediately and highlights that the keyboard display is not just a fundraising tool, but also a lasting commemoration of the people who helped make the piano possible.

A completed Buy a Key poster can be framed and hung as a permanent reminder of the donors, families, alumni, and community supporters who helped bring the instrument to life.

The campaign tool that becomes a commemorative display.

Built to Scale The same simple 88-key concept works for modest community projects and major institutional campaigns.

10 Posters = 880 Sponsorship Opportunities

One school used 10 Buy a Key posters at $100 per key - an $88,000 campaign structure that gave hundreds of supporters a way to participate.

One poster or ten - the campaign grows with the goal.

There is no required key price and no fixed campaign size. The organization chooses the goal, the value of each key, and how many posters to use. That makes Buy a Key simple enough for a local music program and scalable enough for a major school or university project.

A clear path from idea to action.
