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.
Thanks to the generosity of the Morgridge Family Foundation, donations made to our Annual Appeal for a limited time will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000. Give today at the link below to maximize your impact!
Below is a look at some of the ways the Building for Kids Annual Appeal creates a foundation of impact across our community.
