You can help us continue to give a quality, educational, and playful experience to all children in a number of ways. From a monthly donation to investing in a program or exhibit, or even hosting a fundraiser of your own, you can keep the play going at GCM!
WHY WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER
While admission and special program revenue support 60% of Glazer Children’s Museum’s operations, the remaining 40% must be made up through generous individuals, corporations, and foundations committed to investing in our award-winning children’s museum in Tampa Bay. These private donations allow us to continue giving a quality, educational and playful experience for all children. You make it all possible!

- Right now, 1 in every 3 American museums faces a significant risk of closing permanently because of financial duress due to the COVID-19 pandemic

- Private donations help us continue our commitment to providing inclusive and accessible programs to children and families of all backgrounds with programs like our Sunshine Sunday sensory-friendly day, field trip scholarships to Title 1 Schools, camp scholarships for Camp Imagination, and more.
