Encouraging childhood imagination, play, joy, and the freedom to stay young a little longer.
About The Stay Network
A Wisconsin nonprofit helping people stay connected to good things.
The Stay Network is based in West Bend, Wisconsin and was created to support simple projects that encourage people, families, churches, schools, libraries, and local organizations.
Why we exist
Helping people hold onto what is good.
Our work is built around a simple idea: helping people stay connected to the good things that matter — imagination, self-worth, faith, encouragement, and community.
We believe small, thoughtful efforts can make a real difference. A child staying playful. An older kid feeling confident in what they enjoy. A church sharing encouragement. A local organization receiving support.
The Stay Network brings these ideas together under one nonprofit home.
Why “Stay”?
