At Madison Children’s Museum, we know that every bit of help along the way plays a significant role in making our dreams come true. Contributions of every size move us a step closer toward achieving our $10 million Capital Campaign goal.

In December 2008, The Kresge Foundation, a nationally recognized funder of capital challenge grants, awarded MCM’s Ready, Set…Grow! Capital Campaign $750,000. This challenge is designed to inspire the community to support the new building project. When the museum reaches $9,250,000 toward its $10 million private goal, Kresge will provide $750,000 to top off the campaign.
