GREAT COMMUNITY GIVE

WEDNeSDAY, April 16, 2025
6:00 AM - 8:00 PM

 

Join us for the Great Community Give! This exciting one-day, online giving event was started by The Community Foundation to inspire philanthropy in our community through charitable donations. We are thrilled to be one of nearly 150 charities participating that day.

At Explore More, we’re on a mission to ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and inspire a lifelong love of learning through play. We are the Museum filled with playful possibilities! With your support during the Great Community Give, we can continue our collective work and ensure that every child has access to the Museum’s play-based exhibits and programs.

 

HOW CAN YOU MAKE YOUR GIFT?

Just POINT, CLICK and GIVE to the Explore More profile page on the Great Community Give website on APRIL 16 until 8 PM. If you use a mobile phone to make your donation, a mobile pay option will pop up under the “Enter Your Payment Information” (Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Microsoft Pay will appear, depending on your type of phone).

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!

Every donation of any size given to Explore More during Great Community Give will be matched DOLLAR for DOLLAR! Thanks to the generosity of a special friend of the museum, your investment on April 16 will be DOUBLED, laying an even stronger foundation for our kids!

GIVE DURING POWER HOUR — 7 PM ON APRIL 16!

There are a number of power hours throughout the day to help win extra prize money from The Community Foundation. Explore More has selected the LAST hour of the day on April 16, from 7 – 8 PM! If you want to make your gift the most powerful, be sure to time your gift during that hour to maximize prize money.

Explore More MEMBERS — Help us UnLOCK $10,000!

This year during the Great Community Give, we have a BIG opportunity. If 150 member families donate ANY AMOUNT, we will unlock a $10,000 donation. Will you join us and be one of the families to make this possible! In addition, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar. Together, we can make a collective impact!
🌟Have you seen all of the stars in our lobby?🌟 We look forward to recognizing all of the member families who come together to make this $10,000 gift possible!
