Your generosity helps us enrich the lives of children.
How does your donation help?
- With rising costs and shrinking budgets, schools today may find it difficult to create out-of-school experiences for their students. Our First Place for First Grade program offers scholarships for first grade classes from Scott and Rock Island counties to visit the Family Museum at no cost to them - we even cover the cost of transportation.
- Your donation could cover the cost of a year-long membership for a family in need. Through our Access Assistance program, qualifying families can receive a membership to the Family Museum for 10% of the actual price.
- Financial support to the exhibits program provides necessary maintenance, upgrades, and funds for world-renowned traveling exhibits to visit the Family Museum.
Nancy Evans Memorial Scholarship Fund
For over 20 years Nancy Evans touched the lives of so many through teaching preschool and dance at the Family Museum. To honor her memory, the Family Museum has established the Nancy Evans Memorial Scholarship Fund. Each year, one Family Museum dance student and one Family Museum preschooler whose family is experiencing financial hardship will receive financial assistance through this fund. Students will be selected by a committee after being nominated by Family Museum staff. With your help, her light and legacy will live on through this annual scholarship.
Donations to this fund are tax-deductible in accordance with current IRS regulations. If you would like to mail us your donation, please make checks payable to the Family Museum Foundation and send to:
