Your Founding Support

Can Bring the Children’s Museum to Life!

Every great story begins with a spark—and you can be the spark that helps launch the Grand Haven Children’s Museum. We’re working to create a vibrant, high-quality children’s museum in downtown Grand Haven, and we invite you to join us as a Founding Museum Supporter through our Founding 50 campaign.

Our mission is to engage all children with hands-on learning experiences that spark imagination, pique curiosity, enhance creativity and develop problem-solving skills within a place of beauty, wonder and joy.

We aim to raise $250,000 through 50 gifts of $5,000 or more from individuals, businesses, and service organizations. The first 50 donors will be recognized as Founding 50 supporters with permanent recognition at the museum, as well as acknowledgment on our website, social media, and annual report. We’re excited to share that we’re already more than halfway to our goal—and we’d be honored to have you join us in making this vision a reality.

Children’s museums are more than places to play—they foster hands-on learning, promote social and emotional development, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Joining the Founding 50 is a meaningful way to support children and families, while enhancing the cultural vibrancy of the Tri-Cities and complementing our beloved landmarks including the Musical Fountain, Lynne Sherwood Waterfront Stadium, and our iconic pier and beaches.

Thank you for considering the opportunity to be the spark that launches the Grand Haven Children’s Museum. By supporting this project, you’re investing in our region’s future and inspiring the next generation of creators and leaders.
