How to Contribute to the National Institute for Play


Why make a contribution?

The National Institute for Play is a 501 ( c ) 3 non profit organization. Your donations and involvement are crucial to sustaining and expanding our mission and projects.

If play were a recognized and well funded discipline, the knowledge of play would be organized, catalogued and disseminated. Since it is not, we are the bridge that will link the newly available facts about play to change public consciousness about it and initiate broad public policies to bring it into full action status.

Your contribution will make a difference.

You can make a contribution online, by mail or by fax/phone.

Also, you can contribute in honor of another person
