In honor of Giving Tuesday we would like to introduce five charities that hold a special place in our hearts. We believe they embody the spirit of generosity and community that defines our camp experience. Each organization aligns with Kippewa’s values in their goals to make a positive impact on the lives of children.
Giving Tuesday and Beyond
Kippewa Scholarship Fund
The Kippewa Scholarship Fund, facilitated through the American Camp Association (ACA), provides an incredible opportunity for children who might otherwise miss out on the magic of camp. By donating through ACA, you can directly contribute to giving girls the chance to create lasting memories and friendships at Kippewa.
SCOPE
SCOPE (Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education) is a nonprofit dedicated to providing scholarships for children who would not otherwise be able to afford to attend camp. Your contribution can open doors for children who, despite their potential, may not have the means to experience the joy and personal growth that camp offers.
Project Morry
Project Morry is a year-round youth development organization rooted in a transformative four-week camp experience for kids from underserved communities. Your support can help empower these young minds, fostering growth and resilience.
Maine Community Foundation
In response to the tragic events of the October 2023 mass shootings in Lewiston, the Maine Community Foundation is raising funds to support the affected community. Your donation will help the healing process for those in need.
The Kanikapila Project
The Kanikapila Project on Maui uses the power of music therapy to bring healing and hope to children facing challenges, particularly in the wake of the devastating wildfires. Their mission is about access to music, and specifically about access to music therapists. Your support can contribute to “bringing comfort, aloha, and wellness.”
We invite you to consider supporting one or more of these causes that resonate with you. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in making a positive impact on the lives of children in need. While Giving Tuesday provides the spotlight on the importance of helping others, we hope and believe this mindset will carry on throughout the entire year.
Thank you for being an integral part of our camp community, and for embodying the spirit of generosity that defines who we are at Kippewa. Wishing you a joyous and meaningful Giving Tuesday, and beyond!
