Dunkin' Joyful Spaces

Dunkin’ Joyful Spaces bring the joy of play and healing to kids battling illness and their families, offering them a space with a sense of normalcy within the hospital environment. 

 

Hospitals and health centers are typically sterile environments that don't provide a sense of normalcy for pediatric patients and their loved ones. Dunkin’ Joyful Spaces help by creating and revitalizing places within these environments for kids and their families to escape the traditional hospital setting while undergoing care.  These kid friendly spaces include community gardens, playgrounds, playrooms and more. Launched in 2022, this program has granted more than 20 Dunkin' Joyful Spaces to date.

This year's grant deadline has passed. Decisions will be communicated in September 2025. Please check back next year if you are interested in applying for a Joyful Spaces grant.
