Sponsorship Options
Since its founding in 2016, the Cape Cod Toy Library has worked to expand its programs, outreach, and engagement, starting with our Community Play Space, the launch of the Toy Lending program in May 2022, and the creation of an Outdoor Play Oasis in October 2022 in response to community needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
These efforts included:
Expanding the number of annual visitors to more than 600 families during our open hours every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Offering 160 free family program events, including a series of seven bilingual English-Portuguese story / play times.
Securing grants from foundations and businesses to support our play spaces, programs, toy collection, and staff.
The Toy Library offers a variety of sponsorship options for residents and visitors to help sustain and broaden our mission of fostering healthy child development and learning through play for all families, educators, and mental-health practitioners in the Cape Cod community, while also recognizing the generosity of the Library’s supporters and patrons.
We invite everyone to play a part in increasing the accessibility and capacity of these essential community resources.
Sponsor a PlayPass subscription
You can help a family in need enjoy the benefits of a Toy Lending Library PlayPass subscription by sponsoring a free PlayPass subscription as an employee benefit or award, promotional opportunity, or to strengthen the local community and the students, employees, and civic leaders of tomorrow.
Sponsor a Family Program
Our Community Play Space and Outdoor Play Oasis provide families with play resources and programs in accessible, enriching, and culturally inclusive learning environments to support all areas of child development, including children with developmental delays and learning disabilities facilitated by early-childhood educators, free of charge.
