MUSEUM SEEKS DONATIONS TO EARN GRANT

The Jeniam Foundation has given EverWonder Children’s Museum a grant that challenges the museum and its supporters to raise $100,000.

The foundation will match the donations received by the end of the year by $100,000.

Since receiving the grant in March, EverWonder has raised over $30,000 in donations and pledges, including a $5,000 grant from Tier ONE and $1,000 grants from M&T Bank and Deloitte & Touche LLP. Having secured additional donations and pledges from all of the members of its Board of Directors, EverWonder has formally announced the challenge grant to actively solicit support from the broader community.

As part of the challenge grant, EverWonder is accepting sponsors for existing, unpartnered exhibits and is actively seeking sponsors for its Escape the STEAM Room exhibit.
