GIVING TUESDAY

How to Donate on Giving Tuesday in 2024

As a world leader in inclusive play, Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration has impacted the lives of millions of children worldwide. Children with disabilities often spend their lives being excluded from play, friends, and their social communities. This harmful isolation can impact the trajectory of their lives. Our work to create play, dignity, and social equity for children with disabilities makes us one of the best organizations to support and donate to charity this Giving Tuesday.

Thanks to our supporters, we have changed the paradigm of play. Since our founding over 27 years ago, we’ve created 80 inclusive playgrounds across five continents, with more in development. Our initiatives in the United States and beyond help level the playing field for children with disabilities.

We are proud to be involved with a global day of giving by participating in #GivingTuesday on December 3, 2024.

With your help, we can come together to ensure that no child is left on the sidelines of play.
