Donate Fundraising: KaBOOM!

KaBOOM!

Your donation goes to support the core mission of:
KaBOOM!, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit

KaBOOM! is the national non-profit that empowers communities to build playgrounds. We passionately believe that play has purpose, and that unstructured play in particular helps make children happier, fitter, smarter, more socially adept and creative.

KaBOOM!-led Builds
From our inception in 1995, KaBOOM! has led over 1,700 playground construction projects that pair community leaders with funding partners who support our mission. These playgrounds are our hallmark, all-volunteer, done-in-a-day builds that serve as an achievable win for communities that need it most.

Do-It-Yourself Tools
In addition to these KaBOOM!-led builds, we offer Do-It-Yourself Tools, which provide online resources, including trainings, challenge grants, and publications for communities that wish to plan and build a new playspace on their own.

National Campaign for Play
KaBOOM! also leads the KaBOOM! National Campaign for Play, which rallies individuals and communities to achieve better public policy, funding and public awareness for increased play opportunities. To help individuals achieve results on a grassroots level, we created the Playmaker Network, whose members are the eyes, ears and voice for play in their communities. In 2007, we launched another component of the campaign, the Playful City
USA recognition program, which honors the efforts of cities that create an agenda on play.

KaBOOM! inspires mass action for the cause of play, empowers individuals to take action on behalf of play and works to create playspaces through the participation and leadership of communities. Please join us as we help create a more playful nation.

If you don't hate playgrounds, join the KaBOOM! facebook cause page. If we can get to 2500 members, we'll get a $5k award. There's only a few more to go, and its free, easy and painless.

Please everyone take a sec to join (not donate to, though of course that'd be nice also) the KaBOOM! Facebook cause -- it's free & harmless and once we cross 2,500 members we'll get a $5,000 grant. Just a couple hundred people to go ...

We're trying to get a playground at our school. Currently all we have is an asphalted lot with 2 basketball hoops. This is one of the places that are willing to help us!

We've been challenged by a generous donor to increase the number of members we have on our Facebook Cause. And in challenging us, this special friend has offered to donate $5,000 if we can grow our Facebook Cause by 1,000 people for a total of 2,500 members or more!

That means if you're not already a member of the KaBOOM! Facebook Cause, you can secure $5 for KaBOOM! with just a few clicks of your mouse... or $50 by getting 10 friends to join the KaBOOM! Facebook Cause.
