Leave a Legacy of Learning
Sponsor a Space Where Children Will Root, Rise & Grow
The Grand Forks Children’s Museum is taking shape as a hands-on destination for creativity, exploration, and play-based learning. Sponsorships offer families, businesses, foundations, and community partners a meaningful way to help bring this vision to life while creating a lasting legacy for children across our region.
Find the Opportunity that Fits Your Story
Signature Spaces
Make a lasting mark on the spaces where every visit begins, families gather, and community moments unfold. Signature spaces offer meaningful visibility within the museum’s most active and memorable areas.
Examples may include:
The Hall, The Clubhouse, The Studio, Outdoor Plaza spaces, learning gardens, and other high-visibility gathering areas.
Sky Galleries
The Sky Level invites children to look up, wonder, experiment, and imagine what is possible. These galleries extend the Land-Grow-Sky journey through hands-on experiences inspired by weather, flight, space, energy, light, and the wide horizons above our region.
Examples may include:
Glow, Sky Lab, Space Time, Wonder, and Sky Partner opportunities.
Outdoor Learning & Gathering Spaces
The museum experience will extend beyond the walls into outdoor spaces designed for gathering, discovery, movement, and connection to the land. These areas create more ways for families to visit, learn, and return throughout the year.
Examples may include:
Outdoor Plaza spaces, Outdoor Learning Gardens, outdoor landscaping, gathering areas, and seasonal learning spaces.
Land Galleries
The Land Level celebrates the industries, environments, and community systems that shape life in the Red River Valley. Through immersive play, children explore how food is grown and moved, how water flows, how towns work together, and how young learners discover through sensory-rich experiences.
Examples may include:
Land Gallery Partner opportunities connected to Big Backyard, Friendly Forks, Harvest Hustle, River Run, and other Land Level experiences.
Learning & Creative Spaces
Support the spaces where programs, workshops, field trips, creative projects, and hands-on learning come to life. These flexible areas help the museum serve children, schools, educators, families, and community groups in meaningful ways.
Examples may include:
The Studio, The Launchpad, classroom and maker spaces, creative learning areas, and programming support.
Access, Wellness & Long-Term Impact
Some sponsorships help ensure the museum is welcoming, accessible, and sustainable for years to come. From calm spaces and family amenities to endowment support and long-term operations, these gifts help the museum open strong and stay strong.
Examples may include:
Wellness/Calm Rooms, guest amenities, operations areas, exhibit workshop, accessibility support, endowment, and access-focused giving.

Why Sponsorship Matters
A sponsorship is more than a name on a wall. It is a way to help shape the experiences children will remember: the first time they test an idea, build something with their hands, discover how water moves, climb higher than they thought they could, or see the sky in a whole new way.
Your support helps create a museum that opens strong, grows with our community, and serves children and families for generations.
Sponsorship Recognition
Sponsors are recognized as part of the museum’s lasting story. Depending on the opportunity, recognition may include space signage, donor wall recognition, campaign materials, website recognition, event acknowledgment, and other meaningful visibility.
Let's Find the Right Fit
Every donor’s story is different. Some are drawn to education. Some want to honor a family legacy. Some want their business to be connected to a transformational community destination.
We would love to learn what matters most to you and help you explore sponsorship opportunities that align with your goals, interests, and giving timeline.
