The Grand Forks Children’s Museum has launched its naming opportunities for the upcoming museum. Naming rights for our children’s museum can be a powerful way to leave a lasting impact while supporting education and creativity.
If you are a passionate about education and community enrichment, and love the Grand Forks region, this is your opportunity to acquire naming rights for our beloved Grand Forks Children’s Museum through a generous donation.
Think of some of the iconic buildings that shall forever be known by their generous philanthropist: Carnegie Hall (Andrew Carnegie), Rockefeller Center (John D. Rockefeller) , Pauley Pavilion (Edwin W. Pauley)…your name could become as iconic in Grand Forks, as these famous philanthropists!
Why you should consider this unique opportunity!
Legacy: By attaching your name or your organization’s name to the Grand Forks Children’s Museum, you will be creating a legacy that will resonate for generations. Imagine children and families exploring exhibits, attending workshops, and making memories—all under the banner of your generosity.
Inspiring Curiosity: Children’s museums are magical places where curiosity knows no boundaries. Your support will directly impact the quality of exhibits, interactive displays, and educational programming. From science, technology and engineering to art, history, mathematics, and of course, hands-on play, you will be fostering a love for learning in young hearts and minds.
Community Recognition: Your name will be prominently displayed on the outside or within the museum (there are many options) and will serve as a beacon of inspiration. Visitors, educators, and families will associate your legacy with the joy of discovery and the pursuit of knowledge. Your name will serve as a lasting memory for all who visit.
Tax Benefits: Naming rights won’t diminish the tax-deductible value of your donation. In addition to the proper recognition for your donation, you will continue to receive the financial tax benefits of your charitable giving.
What this includes: This is the opportunity to secure your legacy by naming the museum, a hall, a level or even an exhibit, however, does not provide the donor the opportunity to impact or alter the planned area or exhibit.
Want to make a difference? Here’s how…
Choose Your Level: Whether you’re an individual, a family, or a corporation, there are various naming levels to suit your philanthropic goals. From naming the actual museum, to naming of the Land and Sky levels, to the naming the Family Wellness Lounge, there are many opportunities to get involved. If you prefer outdoor naming opportunities, the Destination Playground has several naming opportunities.
Customization: Perhaps you prefer to honor a loved one or highlight your company’s name or feature your family name to create a specific legacy...there are many different ways to recognize your donation. If you have a specific interest or skill, we can help find the perfect fit for you. Our team will collaborate with you to ensure your vision comes to life, within the parameters of the naming opportunity.
Long-Term Impact: Our naming rights are thoughtfully structured to ensure lasting impact. Together, we’ll create a legacy that outlines the duration, recognition, and terms.
By associating your name with the Grand Forks Children’s Museum – a vibrant hub of play and discovery- you will help to inspire generations of young minds and contribute to a brighter future.
