Make a Gift

Support Learning Through Play at NSCM!

Your gift to the Friends of North Shore Children’s Museum, a 501(c)3, allows us to provide enriching experiences for all children in our community, for decades to come. Here are just a few ways your support makes a direct impact in our ability to educate and strengthen families in the community.

Exhibits That Evolve with Every Visit

Fresh discoveries await in our 14 exhibits! We’re committed to updating and rotating spaces regularly, ensuring each visit brings new adventures for young explorers. The innovative equipment and supplies that make this possible require funding beyond the museum’s operating budget.

Your gift gives us the flexibility to continuously evolve and expand – creating those unforgettable “wow” moments that children treasure long after they leave our doors.

Making Museums Accessible for All Families

Every child deserves the joy of discovery, but many families face barriers that make full-price admission challenging. Your support helps us bridge that gap!

Reduced Admission Program: Your gifts help offset our $3 admission program for families with EBT cards, WIC, ConnectorCare, or Wonderfund participation.

Sponsor a Visit: Just $12 sponsors one child’s museum experience – or give any amount to sponsor multiple visits and create lasting memories.

Special Programming That Brings Learning to Life

Our Multipurpose Room transforms into a hub of excitement with free and low-cost special programs! From weekly music & movement, story time, arts & crafts, and STEAM programming, we’re committed to making enriching experiences accessible to all families.

Double Impact: Your donations support local performers while providing affordable programming that extends learning beyond our exhibits.

Your Logo, their laughter!
