About the BFK’s Annual Appeal
The Building for Kids seeks to create impactful, play-based learning opportunities for all kids and their grown-ups. This is accomplished in a number of ways including designing specially-curated exhibits, providing engaging programming, and building trust-based relationships to support families.
We need your help to ensure that all families have access to the critical, intergenerational play-based learning opportunities offered by the BFK.
When kids and their grown-ups visit the museum, their admission, membership, and program fees support immersive play-based learning environments and museum operations. However, earned revenue does not cover the full cost of admission. Contributions from generous donors and sponsors extend the impact of our work.
