A day of hands-on science at school, easier access to community services and refreshed playground equipment are among the projects local organizations hope to fund through this year’s SC Give campaign.
The Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation’s online campaign is highlighting 27 local nonprofits ahead of Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2026. The portal says early giving has begun. In a Nov. 9 announcement, the foundation introduced four projects focused on children and families.
Here is what those organizations are seeking, with their listed fundraising goals checked Nov. 9.
Cedarhome Elementary PTO: a school-wide science day
Goal: $5,000. The PTO hopes to bring Pacific Science Center’s Science on Wheels to Cedarhome Elementary for a full day. Its proposal includes a science-show assembly, hands-on classroom workshops and a bilingual English-and-Spanish exhibit for students to explore.
Community Resource Center: doors and ramps
Goal: $7,500. The Community Resource Center of Stanwood-Camano wants to repair and improve aging entrance doors and accessibility ramps. The project is intended to make it easier for neighbors to reach the center’s programs, family support and other services.
Freedom Park: playground repairs and new features
Goal: $5,000. The Freedom Park Association is seeking funds to repair or replace aging playground equipment and add play features at the Camano Island park.
Life House Ministries: practical support for single mothers
Goal: $8,500. Life House Ministries’ Home for the Holidays project seeks funding for education and curriculum covering financial planning, career development, parenting and other life skills. The organization describes that work as part of helping mothers move toward self-sufficiency and permanent housing.
