Get Involved

Become a Funding Partner

Make something good happen close to home.

Individuals, families, businesses, foundations and other mission-aligned funders can help more neighbours participate and connect at Beaches Sandbox. Let’s find a contribution that fits what matters to you and supports a real community need.

Ways to work together.

  • Fund access

    Help reduce financial barriers so more children, families, adults and older neighbours can take part.

  • Support a priority

    Explore Active Aging, youth and food, inclusion or another agreed area of community support.

  • Contribute something useful

    Discuss goods, services or expertise that meet an identified Sandbox need.

  • Explore team involvement

    Talk about a suitable employee or volunteer opportunity, shaped around what the community and team need.

Explore a priority that matters to you:

A contribution that fits your plans.

Support may include a one-time contribution, annual or multi-year support, sponsorship, or useful in-kind goods, services or expertise. You don’t need to choose an option before we talk.

Support that fits what matters to you

Every funding relationship can look a little different.

You might help more neighbours participate through financial assistance, strengthen a program that matters to you, support an area such as Active Aging or youth experiences, contribute useful goods or expertise, or explore a larger annual or multi-year commitment.

We’d rather start with a conversation than a package. Tell us what you care about, and we’ll explore where your support could make a meaningful difference.

Build the partnership together.

  1. Start with the purpose

    Tell us what you hope to contribute and what matters to you.

  2. Find a practical fit

    We’ll discuss the community need, resources, timing and responsibilities.

  3. Agree on the details

    Together we’ll agree on the budget, useful updates and any recognition you would like.

An inclusive home for making art.

Hands of Fire Sculpture Group described how Sandbox’s accessible setting and supportive staff helped provide a home for weekly sculpting sessions for blind and visually impaired participants.

“the supportive and respectful staff at Beaches Sandbox have been invaluable in helping us create a truly inclusive environment for our members.”
