Giving Tuesday

Posted by on Nov 30, 2021 in Uncategorized | No Comments

Giving Tuesday, on November 30, 2021, is the largest giving day of the year, with thousands of organizations across 75 countries participating and millions worldwide giving and spreading generosity.

We are asking you to show your support of St. Johns Swapnplay by helping us reach our goal on Giving Tuesday to raise $6,000 in just 24 hours! Financial gifts help to keep our organization ticking. But spreading the word with your networks and gifts of time are equally (and deeply) appreciated as well.

Together, as a community, we can ensure that (new) parents are not isolated. We can provide safe spaces for babies to crawl and explore. We can introduce toddlers and their grown ups to rich sensory experiences that support healthy development. And we can infuse support, art, movement, music, play, and more into the North Portland community.

By supporting Swap, you can make sure that we’re able to expand our programming to reach under-resourced communities across North Portland providing a life-changing space for gathering and supporting healthy development for all families.

Whether you can give $5 or $5,000, we are grateful. Your tax-deductible gift will allow us to maintain our high quality programming to families in North Portland.

  • $105 will gift a 3 month membership to a family in need.
  • $250 will bring a visiting artist or musician to a community event 
  • $500 provides a month’s worth of weekly classes to families
  • $6,000 brings a whole year of enriching programming to our play space
