Individual Giving

There are many ways to support the Children’s Museum

There are several ways for individuals to contribute to the Children’s Museum and its mission. A gift to the Annual Fund provides critical funding for ongoing Museum operations, including exhibits and programs, and our Circle of Innovation and Legacy Circle allow you to join an exceptional group of patrons in their unrestricted support of key Children’s Museum initiatives. The Children’s Museum’s legacy giving program allows you to create lasting support. In addition, tribute gifts can honor special relationships or memorialize the loss of a loved one.
