For Individual Donors
Madison Children’s Museum serves our community by providing a place for all children to explore, develop their intellects, and connect with their families, their communities, and the world beyond. The developmental benefits of play are critical to every child’s growth. We strongly believe that every child should have access to these resources and so we price our admission rates for everyone far below the actual cost-per-person to fund the museum.
To help us cover the full per-person cost of each visitor, we rely on the generous donor contributions. Each year, individuals like you provide over 50% of our contributed revenue. Your gift, of any size, is welcome and greatly appreciated!

Madison Children’s Museum is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your gift is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
