The dream of the Grand Forks Children’s Museum is within reach—and you can help make it real.
We are getting closer to reaching our Capital Campaign goal of raising $40.8 million, with just $13.6 million to go before we can break ground in 2025.
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 appreciative of all of our donors at all levels. Every donation amount makes a difference and will help us reach our goal to break ground in 2025!
