Boston Children's Museum exists to help children understand and enjoy the world in which they live. As an early museum experience for children, our environment is informal, but our purpose is serious.

As an independent, 501(c) (3) non-profit institution, Boston Children’s Museum relies on its generous donors to help make ends meet. The Museum offers the public a variety of ways to support the Museum and its mission.

A gift to the Annual Fund provides critical funding necessary for programs, groundbreaking exhibits, multicultural celebrations, teacher training, and subsidized visits for families that are not able to afford a trip to the Museum otherwise.

An Outright Gift of Appreciated Stock enables the donor to obtain substantial tax benefits. No capital gains tax is due when the Museum sells the stock, so the full value of the gift supports the Museum's work.

For $250 your kids or grandkids can design their very own 6” x 6” ceramic tiles to be hung in the Museum. Create a wonderful family memory or make a thoughtful gift!
