Become a Monthly Donor + Watch Your Impact Grow
As a nonprofit, everything we do is made possible by people who believe every child deserves a place to imagine, create, and belong.
The New Children’s Museum has been built piece by piece by our supporters. Every installation, program, and creative experience is made possible by people who believe in what we do.
Become an Imagination Builder
Imagination Builders is our new monthly giving circle for people who want to keep building alongside us. Give a little each month and watch those building blocks stack into something truly significant.
Your support helps power:

- Community outreach and education, including school visits and our Mass Creativity program
