One of our biggest fundraising events of the year is almost here, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting Meadville Cooperative Preschool during Crawford Gives, taking place August 19–21, 2026.
Over the past year, our school has experienced one of the most exciting milestones in its 60+ year history.
Thanks to the incredible support of our families, alumni, donors, volunteers, and community partners, we opened the doors to our beautiful new home at Cussewago Square. Our new facility includes an additional classroom, allowing us to serve even more children and families throughout Crawford County while continuing to provide the play-based learning experience that has defined Meadville Cooperative Preschool for generations.
We’ve built an incredible new home for our students.
Now there’s just one thing left to complete: our playground.
This year’s Crawford Gives campaign is dedicated to completing the outdoor play space at our new facility. A playground is much more than swings and slides—it’s an extension of the classroom where children build confidence, strengthen friendships, develop motor skills, spark their imaginations, and learn through play every single day.
Double Your Impact
We’re incredibly grateful to Meadville Medical Center, Orthopedic Associates of Meadville, and Acutec for partnering with Meadville Cooperative Preschool during Crawford Gives.
Together, these three generous organizations have committed up to $8,000 in matching funds for our playground campaign.
That means every donation made during Crawford Gives (August 19–21) will help unlock these matching dollars, allowing your gift to make an even greater impact as we work to complete our new playground.
How You Can Help
Whether you’re a current family, an MCP alum, a former parent, a grandparent, a past donor, or simply someone who believes in investing in the children of our community, we invite you to be part of this exciting final chapter.
Every gift—large or small—brings us one step closer to creating a safe, engaging outdoor space where children can learn, grow, and play for years to come.
