Please donate to Kaleidoscope and help support our 37th year in operation!

The programs at Kaleidoscope can only be sustained by the continued support of financial contributors. Please consider helping to support the important work of Kaleidoscope. Matching Donor programs may also apply to your gift.

Can your donation make a difference? The answer is overwhelmingly “YES!” All of our programs are free to participants, so Kaleidoscope relies entirely on contributions from our community to run our programs. So, does your contribution make a difference? You bet it does! Please see the Sponsorships section for more detailed information on sponsorship opportunities.

Kaleidoscope Place is a small nonprofit organization and we are always looking for ways to increase our circle of friends, supporters, and volunteers. One unique way you can help us do this is by hosting a Kaleidoscope Friendraiser. It’s easy! Invite a group of your friends, colleagues, or members of your faith-based community over to share a meal. Then, share with them the mission, goals, and wonderful work we do with children and youth at Kaleidoscope. Ask them how they are willing to share in your passion for Kaleidoscope. Whether itís sponsoring a donation drive, signing up to volunteer, and/or making a financial contribution to Kaleidoscope you will be helping us to increase our circle of Kaleidoscope supporters and volunteers. You can also request that Kaleidoscope Place staff and/or Board Members join you for your event so they can share their experiences and passion at your Friendraiser.

At Kaleidoscope we are always in need of supplies that we use on a daily basis, such as: healthy snacks and beverages, culturally specific children’s books, cleaning supplies, arts and crafts materials and supplies, and clothing and underwear. Help us to obtain these much needed items by organizing a donation drive. One easy way to coordinate a donation drive for Kaleidoscope is by asking family, friends, and colleagues to bring an item (such as a prepackaged healthy snack or juice boxes) to the next event you may be organizing or hosting. For example, at your child’s next birthday party request that the invitees bring a donation for Kaleidoscope Place.
