Why give?
-
Local Impact
Unlike donating to a massive national environmental non-profit, every dollar or supply donated to Mr. Crow’s stays here in the DMV. If someone supports a cleanup on their own block, they see the "return on investment" the moment they walk out their front door the next morning.
-
Invest
Supporting Mr. Crow’s is a vote of confidence in youth leadership. Donors aren't just paying for trash removal; they are helping fund a "living classroom" where kids learn the value of hard work, civic responsibility, and environmental stewardship. It’s an investment in the type of citizens we want in our neighborhoods.
-
Boost
Clean streets aren't just pretty, they’re economic drivers. Litter-free sidewalks make a neighborhood feel safer and more inviting, which encourages foot traffic for local shops and maintains the curb appeal (and property value) of residential homes. A donation to Mr. Crow’s is an investment in your neighborhood’s "brand."
-
Protect
Litter isn't just an eyesore; it’s a hazard to public infrastructure. By clearing debris from gutters and storm drains, Mr. Crow’s helps prevent localized flooding and keeps plastic waste out of our local waterways. Donating helps us buy the heavy-duty tools and bags needed to tackle high-impact areas.
-
Pride
Mr. Crow’s acts as a "social glue." When neighbors see the crew working and realize it's supported by the community, it creates a sense of shared pride. Donating helps us host "Community Cleanup Days" where we can provide extra gloves, bags, and water for anyone else who wants to join the swarm.
-
Efficient
Because this is a family-run project with zero corporate overhead, every donation goes directly into the "boots on the ground." Whether it’s buying better grabbers for the kids, reflective safety gear, or paying for the disposal fees at the dump, donors can be certain their contribution is being used exactly as promised.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Mr. Crow’s is a family-run community service project. We are not a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit at this time, so donations are not tax-deductible. 100% of your support goes directly toward trash bags, safety gear, and disposal fees to keep our neighborhood beautiful. We appreciate your investment in our community!
-
100% of every donation is used for the direct costs of our cleanups. This includes purchasing heavy-duty contractor bags and safety gear (gloves and vests) for our crew, as well as covering the "tipping fees" at local waste transfer stations. We provide the labor for free; your support provides the tools and disposal access we need to get the job done.
-
No. We don't charge a fee for our community cleanups. We focus on public spaces like alleys, sidewalks, and parks that benefit everyone. If a local business or resident wants to support our mission, we accept donations of supplies or funding to help cover the costs of our weekly 'swarms.'
-
We prioritize areas based on two things: visibility and safety. We look for high-traffic public spots where a 90-minute cleanup will make a noticeable difference for the most people. We also take 'Crow Alerts' - recommendations from neighbors who spot a public area in need of some extra care.
-
Yes. Many neighbors choose to "sponsor" a specific piece of equipment—like a high-quality litter grabber or a safety vest—in honor of a loved one. We can even add a small, discreet name label to the tool so that every time our crew uses it, we are reminded of their contribution to our neighborhood’s beauty.
