Your gift matters. Whatever the activity, 98% of our families tell us their children would not be able to participate without SKJAJA's support.

 

Your gift is necessary. Demand for SKJAJA scholarships is at an all-time high, due to the childcare crisis, inflation, and families seeking critical mental, social and emotional support for their children.

​

Although we're awarding a record number of scholarships each year, we don't have enough funds to cover all the scholarship requests, and many kids end up on a waitlist.

​

Ignite a spark. Light some joy. Donate today!

SKJAJA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (TAX ID #26-2821484), so your donation may be tax deductible.
