Orcas Island

GiveOrcas is a twice-yearly community giving campaign run by the Orcas Island Community Foundation that raises money for local organizations' projects. Past rounds have paid for playground equipment and outdoor play spaces for preschoolers. Orcas Island organizations with a well-planned project that serves a broad part of the community should apply.

Could a playground win this?

Strong fit High confidence

GiveOrcas has funded playground and outdoor play equipment for a local preschool more than once, so a playground request from an Orcas Island organization fits. Requests are vetted by a community committee that weighs basic needs and broad community impact, and the money is raised from donors during the campaign.

Orcas Island Children’s House - $12,000: Promote outdoor play with equipment for a natural playscape for preschoolers.

Orcas Island Children’s House - $11, 865: Support outdoor play and learning for young islanders with new, sustainable playground equipment.
