The dream of the Grand Forks Children’s Museum is within reach—and you can help make it real.
The GFCM Capital Building Campaign is now within $950,000 of its $35 million goal. This is an extraordinary place to be, and every gift still matters as we work to close the gap.
Now is the time to be part of something transformative.
This isn’t just about building a museum—it’s about creating a space where wonder lives, where imaginations grow wild, and where every child can explore, dream, and discover. Your gift brings us closer to opening our doors and lighting the spark of lifelong learning for generations to come.
​
Let’s build it—together.
Giving Options
Support the Grand Forks Children’s Museum through one-time or recurring donations, endowment gifts, tributes, IRA or stock gifts, matching gifts, or planned giving. Every contribution—big or small—can be pledged over time and helps build a lasting legacy for children and families in our region.
Thank you to our Donors!
We are deeply grateful to the individuals, families, businesses, foundations, and public partners whose generosity is helping bring the Grand Forks Children's Museum to life.
