Capital Giving

The Bloomsburg Children’s Museum serves as more than a place to visit. We are a learning hub, a career exploration center, a community partner, and a trusted resource for rural families and schools. Through hands-on experiences, we help children discover exactly what is possible.

Although “Bloomsburg” is in our name, our work reaches far beyond one town. We serve children, families, schools, and community partners across a 15-county region, including many rural communities where access to enrichment, STEM education, career exploration, and cultural experiences can be limited.

Our Core Initiatives:

• Interactive Museum Exhibits & Maker Programs
• Mobile STEM Programs & Science Fairs
• Camps & Homeschool Classes
• Accessibility Initiatives
• Partnerships with Libraries, Schools, and Industry

Our hope is that every child who walks through our doors, or meets us through an outreach program in their community, feels seen, capable, curious, and inspired. Your contribution allows us to build and sustain this vision.

• The Endowed Fund: Provides dependable support for the Museum’s mission, ensuring we can sustain our work for future generations.
• The Non-Endowed Expansion Fund: Creates the physical space and resources needed to serve more children, welcome more schools, build stronger exhibits, and connect young people to the skills that shape their futures.

Community giving means recognizing that the future of our region is something we build together. It is about shared responsibility, shared vision, and a shared belief in the potential of our children.

Your generosity directly supports initiatives that ensure cost, transportation, income, zip code, or school district do not prevent a child from participating, including:

• Reimbursed transportation for Title I schools
• Mobile outreach programs that bring learning directly into communities
• Free and discounted admission days & program scholarships
• National initiatives like Museums for All and Blue Star Families
• Institutional memberships and All Abilities Nights

These funds are an investment in children, but they are also an investment in the future workforce, creativity, and vitality of our entire region. We proudly recognize our partners who help make this possible on our permanent Donor Wall.
