Our Giving Culture

OUR GIVING CULTURE >>

Welcome and thank you for your interest in giving to Pretend City Children’s Museum.

Philanthropy is an established practice in successful children’s museums. At Pretend City, it has been critical in our ability to provide a unique place where play has a purpose, important concepts are learned, and memories are made.  

Individual, family, and corporate donations built Pretend City! The exhibits and programming you have come to love are not sustainable without philanthropic support. 

Memberships and general admission tickets cover approximately 70% of our operating budget. The remaining 30% is contributed through several giving opportunities.    

We offer several opportunities to show your support – there is something for everyone!  

Thank You!
