Cradles to Crayons Home PHILADELPHIA is OPEN!

How to help

Invest in Philadelphia's start-up. We are seeking start-up capital to bring this innovative and efficient nonprofit to greater Philadelphia. We'd argue that we're a low-risk investment. Why? 1) We've got a great founding group of highly-motivated, "get-stuff-done" community leaders on board. 2) We've studied the successes and failures of nonprofit organizations that have tried to expand nationally. And, 3) we think and operate as business. Our business plan for Philadelphia takes what's tried and true from five years of operating experience in Massachusetts, and incorporates the unique needs and opportunities of the Philadelphia community. Call 215.836.0958 or This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it   to discuss a financial gift.

Host a product drive.
Before we can begin distributing packages to children-in-need, we need your kids' stuff. Introduce us to your child's school, your church or synagogue, or your company. We can help you organize a successful drive to collect new and gently-used children's products, and ensure that these goods will go directly to a child who really needs them.
