When
the Children's Museum was founded in 1963 by the Junior League, they probably
didn't envision the wonderful growth of the institution they began. When we
opened the doors at our current location in 1979, the generosity of 100's
of Mohawk Valley businesses, families and foundations helped make this a reality.
1,000's of children, families, schools responded enthusiastically, becoming
engaged in programs and activities.
...
Now,
the spotlight is on the entire Mohawk Valley community to recognize the Museum
as the vital resource it is and be part of its future. We
receive no funding for our operating costs from the city, county, state, or
federal governments. Admissions,
gift shop sales and other earned income cover only part of our budget. We
rely on charitable gifts from supporters throughout the community to bridge
the gap. Your tax-deductible contribution can support new Museum exhibits,
allow us to develop new programs, as well as provide an educationally enjoyable
environment for our community which enhances our quality of life and brings
in tourists.

Children's Museum is deeply grateful to the following individuals, corporations,

If you were to sell your shares and donate the proceeds to the Museum, you would owe capital gains tax on any profit.
