Support the Swing

Every dollar goes toward accessible play equipment in public parks. We are an all-volunteer family foundation — no one here draws a salary.

Online giving is opening soon

We're finishing setup with our giving platform. In the meantime you can send a check, or get in touch and we'll take it from there — every gift counts the same either way.

Other ways to give

Employer matching

Many employers will match your gift dollar for dollar. Ask your HR department for their matching-gift form — our EIN is on this page.

In-kind and services

Landscaping, excavation, printing, venue space, and auction items all reduce what we have to raise in cash.

Donate in honor or memory

Give in someone's name and we will send them a note letting them know, without mentioning the amount.
