So Many Ways to Help!

Akron Children’s Museum, relies on a combination of income sources, just like your other favorite regional and national attractions do! Admissions, memberships, events, programs, and retail sales provide the majority of the income that helps us serve the kids and families of our region with a high-quality, engaging, and memorable experience.

Another important source of support comes from private contributions, special sponsorships, and foundation grants. These dollars help us maintain and clean exhibits, refill art or maker supplies and replace broken items, and develop/present new exhibits and programs on a continual basis.

Philanthropic gifts (of all sizes) are also allocated to our “All-Access Kids Fund,” supporting field trips and programs for lower-income children. Akron Children’s Museum strives to inspire life-long learning and deliver countless smiles of delight for ALL children in our region.

There are many ways to give – through gifts to our Annual Fund, corporate sponsorships, matching gifts, planned gifts, or through donations made in tribute to a friend or family member. We accept gifts of cash, stock and securities. Please contact development [at] akronkids.org for more information.

You can also support the museum every time you shop on Amazon!
