Ways to give

Your gift builds places that feel like home.

Everyplace backs refugee-led organizations to build the beauty their communities envision, so that the places people depend on for daily life feel more like home. Every gift goes to work through the people who live there.

Frequently asked questions

Is my gift tax-deductible?+

Yes. Every Place is a project of Players Philanthropy Fund, Inc., a Texas nonprofit corporation recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 27-6601178, ppf.org/pp). Contributions to Everyplace are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law, and you’ll receive a receipt for your records.

How will my gift be used?+

Your gift backs our partnerships with refugee-led organizations: the community listening, the planning, the materials, and the paid community labor that build each space. It also builds the organization behind the work, so we can reach more communities, deepen our impact, carry out research, and grow this work around the world.

Can I give to a specific site?+

Yes. Gifts of $15,000 or more can sponsor a whole site, and we’ll talk with you about which community and keep you close to its progress. Other gifts go where they’re needed most.

How can I give?+

Online by card or bank transfer, by donor-advised fund, stock, wire, check or cryptocurrency. Every option is listed above under Every way to give.

Can I give every month?+

Yes, by joining the Paintbox, our monthly giving community.

Can I give from outside the United States?+

Yes. We accept gifts from anywhere in the world through our secure online giving page, and by international wire. Tax benefits outside the US depend on your country’s rules.

Can I give in honor or in memory of someone?+

Yes. Email hello@every-place.org with their name, and we’ll send a note to the person or family you choose.

How do you know it’s working?+

Research is part of how we work. We measure through participatory methods led with refugee communities, tracking community outcomes, like social connection, sense of home and community agency, alongside individual wellbeing. We pair the data with the stories people tell, to understand how beauty creates change.

Will I hear how my gift is used?+

Yes. Donors receive regular news from the communities we partner with, stories from each site, and an annual impact report.

How do I know a request for bank details is really from you?+

We send wire instructions only from an every-place.org email address, and our bank details change only after we confirm with you by phone. If anything looks unusual, call or email Stephanie before you send.

Every Place is a fiscally sponsored project of Players Philanthropy Fund, Inc., a 501(c)(3) public charity. Federal Tax ID 27-6601178.
