FAQs

01.

— Why is the Museum launching the IGNITE SOCIETY?

In celebration of the support the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota receives each year, we are launching the Ignite Society to show our most invested donors the impact they provide through a variety of recognition and engagement opportunities. With special events and advanced notice about new exhibits, we hope the Ignite Society will deepen our donors’ relationship with the Museum and encourage more support for the Museum in the future. 

02.

— Why does the Museum need support?

Admission and membership revenue alone does not balance the Museum’s budget each year. We depend on donations to not only close the gap not covered by fees. More importantly donations provide a margin of excellence at the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota allowing us to focus on creating engaging experiences for all children.

03.

— How can I join the IGNITE SOCIETY?

It’s easy! Simply make a gift or pledge of $500 or more to our Annual Fund. Gifts can be made through a one-time contribution or by setting up multiple payments throughout a 12-month period. You can give online here or by calling Louise Dickmeyer at 507.344.9104.
