Give the gift of play!

At Chicago Children's Museum, we believe in the power of play, exploration, and learning.

When you make a donation, you provide a child with more than just a ticket to our museum; you unlock a world of possibilities. Every child who visits CCM can engage with hands-on exhibits, participate in interactive workshops, and explore their creativity in our Art Studio.

Become a donor at any level, and your first gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, by an anonymous donor.

Your donation can…

  • Purchase sensory materials for our littlest littles in Pritzker Playspace

  • Supply shovels, aprons, and other excavating equipment for CCM’s youngest paleontologists in Dinosaur Expedition

  • Welcome children and their caregivers facing food insecurity to CCM with discounted admissions through the Museums for All program, which serves over 36,000 people every year

… and so much more!


All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
