Support the Museum

The Children’s Museum at Saratoga is a non-profit organization which is supported by the generosity of the community, friends, members, and people who value the importance of play in a child’s developmental and educational growth.

The Museum is an invaluable resource to the people of Saratoga and the entire Capital Region. Contributions, whether donation or sponsorship, allows the Museum to remain a trusted source for play based learning and children’s education.

Contributions helps create interactive exhibits (and repair the ones that are loved a lot) and educational programs that foster creativity and imagination.

Here are just a few of the ways that you can support the Museum:

Give! –

Make a donation to CMAS. Your donation supports the Museum education programs that you attend and the exhibits you love to interact with. You can direct your gift to the annual fund or to the building improvement fund.

Match It –

You can give a matching gift through your employer or consider an in-kind donation of goods or services to the Museum.  See your HR department about matching gifts your employer makes and how to request they be sent to the Museum on your behalf.

Sponsorship – 

You or your business can sponsor programs, events and projects at the Children’s Museum at Saratoga and receive public recognition for your community partnership and support.

VOLUNTEER – Give Your Time & Talent

Individual volunteers and corporate volunteer teams are welcome!  Come and play along with us. Utilize your skills to make a positive impact on children and their families through the various volunteer opportunities that we have available.
