Support the Sandbox

How We Are Funded

How community support makes participation possible

Beaches Sandbox combines several sources of support to operate a welcoming community space and create accessible experiences. Each source plays a different role; together, they help turn programs into opportunities for participation, connection and belonging.

Foundational support

The space, leadership, systems, accessibility, governance and day-to-day capacity that make community experiences possible.

Earned revenue

Program fees, group experiences and premium offerings contribute to program and operating costs and support a sustainable mix of experiences.

Funders and sponsors

Foundations, public funders and mission-aligned partners can support approved access priorities, programs and community initiatives.

Donors and community

Gifts from residents, families and other supporters can help remove financial barriers and expand participation.

How the pieces work together

These sources work together. We describe and report support according to its approved purpose and any applicable restrictions; we do not promise that every contribution is used in the same way.
