Support a kid in need

Our Museum Inclusion Fund ensures that every child can enjoy the opportunity to visit the children’s museum with their family or caregivers. We develop fundraising strategies to be able to donate over 2,500 tickets each year to our partner nonprofits who distribute the passes to kids in need. We also have opportunities for members of the general community who receive financial assistance to receive discounted day passes. Our Museum Inclusion Fund is also able to provide summer camp and other programmatic scholarships to children of various ages, to provide an unforgettable experience with their peers. Ninety percent of the children and families we serve through the Museum Inclusion Fund are considered low-income. 

Our nonprofit partners include: 

  • Best Seat in the House 
  • Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah 
  • Project Connection 
  • The Road Home 
  • Ronald McDonald House 
  • Primary Children’s Hospital 
  • Head Start 
  • Odyssey House 
  • Neighborhood House 
  • International Rescue Committee 
  • Utah Youth Village 
  • The Children’s Center
