In the UK, the wildlife trust should accept them, as they often have children activity / wildlife walk days.
Unsure what the similar kind of thing is in the US

I checked with organizations last year and found none that were active. Suggest donating them to the local Audubon or bird club in your area. Wildlife reserves with offices are another place to donate binoculars.
