What is the KinderBlox Project?
The KinderBlox Project was a program we started to help support schools and educational organizations who would like
to have a set of StoryBlox? but were unable to afford it. For every 10 sets of Build-Your-Own-StoryBlox? sold,
Customized Data Solutions, the makers of StoryBlox?, donated one set to a classroom or nursery (randomly selected
from the list of applicants). See the main KinderBlox
Project page for more information. The program was discontinued when we stopped making the Build-Your-Own-Story
block sets.

Who can participate?
Any school or organization that supports the education of children, or developmentally disabled adults, who would
benefit from a set of StoryBlox? but does not have the abiity to pay for a them. Schools and Organizations that
wish to participate must apply for the program, and their information will be
verified before they are added to the list.

How can I help?
If you know a school or organization that would benefit from this program, please send them a link to the main KinderBlox Project
page, or to the Application Information page, so that they can apply.
As a consumer, the best way to help with this project is to buy one or more sets of Build-Your-Own-StoryBlox?.
For every ten sets sold, one set of blocks will be donated to an applicant. Another great way to help is to tell
everyone you know about StoryBlox? and encourage them to buy a Build-Your-Own-StoryBlox? for themselves.

Do you accept donations?
No, not at this time. Customized Data Solutions (the parent company of StoryBlox?) is a company, not a
non-profit organization, and therefore cannot accept donations. If you are interested in donating money to
help students, there are a great number of wonderful non-profit organizations setup to help educators and children,
and we encourage you to donate to one of these organizations.
If you are interested in sending a set of StoryBlox? to a specific school, however, you are welcome to contact
the school about purchasing a set on their behalf. We are always willing to ship to gift addresses, just
please check with the organization first, verify the mailing address and make sure the recipient knows to be
looking for a package from StoryBlox?.

Can I suggest a school/organization?
If you know a school or organization that would benefit from this program, please send them a link to the main
KinderBlox Project page, or to the Application
Information page, so that they can apply.

Can I specify a school with my purchase?
No. When a school's application is approved, they are added to a list. Each time the counter reaches
0, one appilcant is randomly selected to receive a set of blocks. We believe this is the most fair method.
There is one exception to this policy. If your organization chooses, they can opt for a group buy option
instead of being added to the Kinderblox Project list. In these situations, the school or organization is
responsible for gathering and submitting orders in their own area. Using this method, a large order is placed
by the school or organization, usually on behalf of parents in their school, and all sets are shipped to the school.
The school is then responsible for distributing the orders. For every 10 sets on the order, the
school/organization will get an extra set to keep for themselves.
