Everyone loves bubbles. They’re joyful, welcoming, and they bring people together instantly.
The hard part usually isn’t community interest — it’s figuring out how to pay for them.
If you’re writing grants or pulling together funding, here’s the good news: bubble programs are very fundable, and you don’t need to overcomplicate the language. At Bunch of Bubbles we’re happy to provide you with information, pictures, and other support to help you get the funding you need.
You’re Not Asking for Entertainment Funding
When you talk about bubbles in a grant, you’re not asking for “fun for fun’s sake.”
You’re supporting:
-
Inclusive community engagement
-
Low-barrier access for families and mixed-age groups
-
Informal learning through hands-on exploration
-
Positive use of public or shared spaces
👉 Grant-friendly phrasing you can borrow:
“This program provides an inclusive, low-barrier community experience that encourages participation across ages and abilities.”
Why Bubble Programs Fit Grant Priorities
Bubble programs work well for grants because they naturally support things funders already care about:
-
Equity & Access
No reading level, no language requirement, no prior experience needed. -
Community Connection
Families participate together. Neighbors interact. People linger. -
Informal Learning
Participants explore cause and effect, movement, and problem-solving through curiosity and play.
👉 You can say:
“Participants engage in curiosity-driven, informal learning through observation and hands-on exploration.”
Outcomes Funders Like to See (And You Can Honestly Report)
You don’t need tests or surveys. Most grants are satisfied with observation and participation.
Common outcomes include:
-
High engagement and sustained participation
-
Inclusive participation across age groups and abilities
-
Positive social interaction and shared experiences
-
Increased attendance at community or partner events
👉 Simple sentence to use:
“Program success will be measured through attendance and observed engagement.”
About Costs (and Stretching Funding Gently)
Bubbles are a fantastic addition to fundraising events. Many non-profits pair bubble programs with sponsorship support. B
For non-profit events we create a small take-home coloring book:
-
Kids get a calm, creative activity
-
The full back page thanks sponsors and funders
-
Programs can stay revenue-neutral (or better)
The process is simple.  Just add the sponsor logos into the Canva file that we provide, and we handle the rest.
👉 Budget-friendly phrasing:
“Sponsor recognition helps offset program costs and supports long-term sustainability.”
If You’re Feeling Stuck, This Is Enough
Funders don’t expect perfection. They’re looking for programs that are:
-
Thoughtful
-
Accessible
-
Well-run
-
Good for the community
Bubble programs already do that.
If bubbles feel “too fun” to belong in a grant, remember: joy is often the reason programs succeed. Engagement leads to participation. Participation leads to impact.
And that’s what funding is for.
