Help us make our vision a reality
Why Donate to Our House?
Our House is more than just a space—it's a multi-age gathering place for children and their families, designed to foster playful interactions and a profound sense of belonging. Located in Baltimore, this open and inviting environment aims to engage young minds through hands-on exploration, nurturing their innate curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
Caregivers are not only invited to join in on the fun, but they will also have delightful offerings such as tea, coffee, or matcha, providing an opportunity to socialize, relax, and witness their children's joyful exploration.
Lastly, there are very few Black women-owned businesses that connect design, early childhood education, hospitality, and community programming.
Our House is a reminder that children and families - especially families of color deserve delightful, beautiful, and safe spaces.
Why we need your support:
Space design and consulting that will curate the cutest space possible.
The design team and I are sourcing timeless and durable child-appropriate furniture, play space equipment, and comfortable seating for caregivers
Speaking of space, money will go towards securing a space to pilot Our House in Baltimore, Maryland.
Spaces require safety codes, licenses, and permitting so I will need to cover the cost of that.
Our House will have a food and beverage program. Money will go towards sourcing from QTBIPOC vendors along with cafe supplies.
Legal and accounting services (not much to say here) but I want to do it all right!
Creative Corner - there will be a lot of free art play for the kiddos and art supplies are needed.
Branding consultation is needed to establish Our House's identity and voice.
Building out a retail space for the cutest and essential family-friendly items.
Paying facilitators and educators to offer the very best parent workshops and early childhood programming.
