 Help Us Stock the Playhouse!

GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans is the only Down syndrome achievement center in the Greater New Orleans area, providing FREE, purposeful programs for individuals with Down syndrome of all ages. We currently serve 302 individuals, offering educational, therapeutic, fitness, and career-focused programming that builds confidence, independence, and community.

As our Playhouse continues to grow, your support ensures these life-changing programs remain always FREE for every family who walks through our doors.

This GiveNOLA Day, we are focusing on the everyday essentials that make our programs possible. Our goal is to raise $3,000 to keep our Playhouse stocked with:
1. Art supplies that fuel creativity and expression
2. Healthy groceries and snacks that support our participants during programs

These simple but essential items help us create a welcoming, engaging environment where every participant can thrive.

Your Impact

$25 → Provides healthy snacks for a full week of programs
$50 → Stocks art supplies for one program session
$100 → Supports both snacks + supplies for multiple programs
$250 → Helps fully stock the Playhouse for a week
