Program Scholarship Fund

Fund Quality Programming & Ensure Access

Help us make high quality programming accessible for every family in the Monadnock Region!

At Cheshire Children's Museum, we believe that high-quality, engaging educational experiences should be accessible to all children, regardless of their family's ability to pay.

That’s where the Program Scholarship Fund comes in.

What the Fund Does

This dedicated fund is a direct investment in enhancing our museum experience with high-quality educators.

The fund allows us to pay expert teachers, artists, scientists, and instructors directly for the time and materials it takes to create fantastic programs—like robotics workshops, messy science days, parent-child music and movement, and even outdoor education.

By funding the educators, we can avoid passing the costs on to families. This means we can keep our membership and admission prices reasonable and affordable, ensuring the Museum remains an accessible, welcoming space for everyone.

Your Donation’s Impact

Every dollar you contribute goes directly toward covering educator fees. Depending on how much we raise, we can offer even more opportunities:

• Secure Access: Your gift immediately stabilizes our operating costs, keeping our baseline admission prices low.

• Hardship Tickets: We can offer discounted or free tickets to families experiencing financial hardship.

• Free Programs: When fully funded, we can offer entire workshops, series, and special events at no cost to the community!
