Tell me, and I will forget.
Show me, and I may remember.
Involve me, and I will understand.

We find that a great model to use with companies is by having support in multiple ways – not just monetary support but getting employees involved as volunteers and/or hosting events. We look for the Win – Win – in particular:
- Space for events, meetings, workshops, training, scrimmages
- Volunteers for events and teams
- Monetary support for events and teams
- Equipment donations for events and teams
- Connections to like-minded organizations and people
- PR / Media / Grant writing help

Financial SupportDonations are always encouraged. Monetary donations can be designated for specific Playing@Learning programs. Donations not designated to a specific program will be used to support all of Playing@Learning’s programs.
We also have a small store through amazon.com. All of your purchases through our store provide Playing@Learning with a small referral rebate.
Equipment Donations
We have specific needs for laptop computers for use in schools and in parent and mentor training programs. If you have fairly new (no more than 3 years old) laptops you would be willing to donate, please contact Mark at marke @ playingatlearning.org
