Ways to Give

Thank you for considering a gift to PLAYA Summer Lake. You can give in several different ways, all of which have a positive impact on our organization. Unrestricted gifts are critical because they are allocated wherever need is greatest. If you have a passion for Programs, New Facilities, Resident Stipends, or Outreach, you can also designate gifts to any of these individual areas.

We also invite you to consider contributing to our board-approved Endowment Fund (of the Playa Foundation). Contributions to the Endowment Fund keep giving in perpetuity, providing confidence that the gift will support PLAYA’s important work forever. For more information, please call our Executive Director at 541-943-3983. 

Beginning in 2019, every gift qualifies the giver for a PLAYA membership at a level specified below. Stay tuned for an announcement introducing the program and the benefits you’ll enjoy as a donor.

You can also become involved through planned giving, in-kind contributions, volunteering, and sponsoring events or publications. PLAYA also accepts donations of stock and frequent flyer miles, services in kind, and more. Is there something you would like to donate? Call PLAYA at 541-943-3983 today.

PLAYA’s mission is more important than ever. In a world with mounting environmental and social challenges, the space and solitude we offer at no charge to artists and scientists allows focused engagement for the good of the planet. Here at PLAYA, we nurture creative inquiry every day. You make this possible. Please join us by giving at any level that works for you. 

Thank you for your involvement and support!

2018 Year-End Letter

Imagine a life without art. No Van Gogh’s Starry Night, Tchaikovsky’s Firebird, O’Keeffe’s Jimson Weed, Lange’s Migrant Mother. Imagine a life without science. No quantum physics, optical microscopes, digital thermometers, geologic maps, or Big Bang Theory.

At PLAYA, we know that art and science help illuminate the human experience. Moreover, we know that creative expression has the power to transform the world. When we gaze upon our surroundings through diverse lenses, more is possible. Boundaries are pushed farther out.
