Omaha Children’s Museum depends on the contributions of individuals, corporations, and foundations to continue to provide our visitors learning and fun, wrapped up in one special place.

Individual contributions help keep your favorite exhibits in top-notch condition and our building in pristine shape. By contributing to the museum's Annual Fund, you are supporting informal learning opportunities and programs for children, families and schools.

Your support is critical to providing a high-quality experience at Omaha Children's Museum. Admissions, program fees, memberships and our gift shop account for only 59% of the museum's operating income. As a private non-profit organization, we rely on the generous gifts from our friends to make up the balance.

• Check, credit card, or money order
• Gifts of appreciated stock
• Bequests: If you would like to know that the future of art and science education is secure, please consider making a bequest to Omaha Children's Museum in your will.
