Museum Endowment Contribution
Support the long-term sustainability of the museum by contributing to our endowment fund at the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation.
Through the end of 2027, all endowment donations will be matched up to $25,000! Help us grow our endowment!
Volunteer Your Time
Give the gift of time. We can use help on weekends and busier days to keep the play space safe and clean. Call us to learn more about volunteers shifts that could lead to a free membership.
