Building Our Future is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a promise to the children in our community. Play is powerful, curiosity is essential, and every child deserves the chance to explore, imagine, and grow.
With your support, we’re expanding our exhibits, updating learning spaces, and creating new hands-on experiences that will spark wonder and creativity for generations to come. Every dollar raised will help us build a more inclusive, engaging, and inspiring museum—one where all children feel welcome to dream big. Help us build tomorrow’s thinkers today!
Planned giving provides lasting support for the Children’s Museum of Illinois by ensuring future generations can learn through joyful play. By including the Museum in your estate plans, you can leave a meaningful legacy that reflects your values and invests in the families we served. If you are interested in learning more about planned giving, reach out to Rikki Parker at rparker@cmofil.org.
Now is a great time to give to the Museum’s endowment, held by the Heart of Illinois Community Foundation!
The Illinois Gives Tax Credit Act could provide significant tax benefits for your gift. Please reach out to Rikki Parker at rparker@cmofil.org or HICF for more information.
Every exhibit, program, and learning opportunity we create is designed to nurture curiosity, confidence, and connection. With your help, we will expand our Angel Memberships*, introduce innovative STEM and arts programming, and ensure our museum remains a vibrant, welcoming space for all children to learn through play. Your generosity today plants the seeds for tomorrow’s problem-solvers, creators, and community leaders.
