Annual Operating Support

Annual operating support helps the museum present temporary and permanent exhibitions, weekly on-site programs, outreach programs, annual festival events, and summer camps, reaching thousands of families from Wisconsin and beyond.
130,000+ Participants

Initiatives

As part of its “whole child” philosophy, the museum nurtures every aspect of growing up. Exhibits and programs embrace six key initiatives: arts, culture, science, health, civic engagement, and early learning. For year-round visibility and a far-reaching sponsorship, businesses may apply their gifts to museum programs, events and activities that celebrate a specific initiative.
100,000+ Beneficiaries

Exhibit Sponsorship

Madison Children’s Museum is an award-winning organization, which fosters family and community connections, and provides a place where every child can learn through play in an interactive environment. MCM’s hands-on exhibits celebrate and encourage children’s imaginations and the power of play as the cornerstone of learning. Corporate exhibit sponsorship allows MCM to continue developing exhibits that let kids engage in discovery learning and creative play.
100,000+ Visitors

Family Access Program Support

Our Family Access program ensures that learning through play is made accessible to families with cultural, physical, and economic barriers to museum participation. We show tremendous growth in this area year after year made possible through an increase in educational outreach programs, parenting classes for struggling single moms, and subsidized admission programs for families facing economic stress. These landmark efforts demonstrate not only the museum’s ability to meet the needs of our community, but also the museum’s need for outside support.
43,000+ Beneficiaries

Event Sponsorships

Madison Children’s Museum hosts several events throughout the year for which corporate sponsorship is essential to our success. From Juniorpalooza, MCM’s signature summer event, to Kids for Peace and the annual Holiday Tea & Trains, Madison Children’s Museum is always planning fun, educational events.
