Investing in Innovation

the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire 2013 Annual Fund

Give a Gift Today!

The Children's Museum of New Hampshire is a busy place.

Every year we serve over 93,000 children and adults. They visit the Museum because of our quality programming, and the opportunity to spend cherished time together. We are proud to be recognized for our leadership.  This past year we published and presented on our groundbreaking work with families with children on the autism spectrum, multigenerational programs for families dealing with Alzheimer’s, designs for family friendly hospital waiting rooms, and programming which integrates the arts into STEaM education.

That is what we do.  But we can only do it with your continued support.  
Our budget is 70% earned income. This means that we match every dollar of contributed income with $3 of revenue. That makes us a solid investment with a high return.  And those contributions really do matter.  They are the seed capital that gives us the flexibility and time to innovate and take risks. With your support, we will continue to invest in a series of first-of-their-kind innovations that build our capacity to thrive and to fulfill our promise.

 

We are strong because of your support and we thank you for the difference you have made in our work. Please consider supporting the Museum with a financial contribution this fiscal year, and help us to make a difference. After all, children are 1/3 of our communities but all of our future.  

Your support matters. Every contribution makes an impact, and together that impact is multiplied.  Gifts of any size make a big difference!

General donations to operations are the most powerful way to invest in the Museum. If you prefer to direct your gift you may select one of the following funding areas on which we focus:

* Access & Inclusion.  Ensuring all children in our community have the same opportunities whatever their background, skills and interests.

* Meeting Critical Community Needs. Focusing on enhancing and extending CMNH’s signature programs which respond to pressing needs in the community.

* Innovation & Creative Problem Solving Skills.  Improving children’s workforce readiness and preparing them for lifelong success by honing their 21st century skill set.

* STEaM.  Deepening our impact by integrating the arts into science, technology, engineering and math learning through drop-in activities, staff-led family programs, partnerships, library-based workshops and camps.
