Mission
AS A NON-PROFIT 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OF RICHMOND'S MISSION IS TO INSPIRE GROWTH IN ALL CHILDREN BY ENGAGING FAMILIES IN LEARNING THROUGH PLAY.
Activities or mission (Part I)
THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OF RICHMOND, A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, EXISTS TO INSPIRE GROWTH IN ALL CHILDREN BY ENGAGING FAMILIES IN LEARNING THROUGH PLAY.
-
Museum Experience: CMoR is more than a fun place to play indoors and outdoors (though it's definitely that!) - it's an active, involved opportunity for the whole family to grow and learn together. From fundamental concepts to socialization skills, research shows that play has a positive impact on a child's academic performance - and the more often they engage in play at an environment like the one shared at CMoR, the more likely they are to find success inside the classroom. In FY24, CMoR saw total attendance of 307,003 guests.
Expenses $2,196,457 · Revenue $1,072,147
-
Education & Outreach: Play is a critical element to encourage healthy development in children, fostering skills that will stay with them well into adolescence and adulthood. At CMoR, children's growth is inspired by engaging families in the power of play, knowing that everyone can learn more - and develop more rapidly - when families play together. Our exhibits and experiences fuel children's problem-solving skills, motor development skills, language skills, spatial skills and coordination, communication and negotiation skills, creative skills, and pre-reading and reading comprehension skills. The Museum facilitated 870 field trips, which consisted of 16,603 students, through In-Museum, Museum-To-Go, and virtual field trips.
Expenses $477,504 · Revenue $583,520
-
Museum Shop: The Museum Shop carries educational toys, games, art and craft supplies, musical instruments, and hands-on projects that support children's learning experiences.
Expenses $46,926 · Revenue $114,317
-
The CMoR Book Bank distributes books to children from low-income households; in FY24, we distributed 23,314 books, primarily to children for the home libraries. 44% of field trips were free or reduced price through our Access for All scholarship program and 697 scholarship memberships donated to families in need. More than 45,200 visitors utilized our Museums for All program, which provides discount admission to families who access SNAP, WIC, and/or EBT benefits. A monthly evening for children with disabilities and their families welcomed 1,505 attendees to experience the Museum with lower sensory inputs, a cool-down room, and volunteers from VCU's occupational therapy program. In the lead up to the new school year, CMoR helped to prepare families for kindergarten readiness with programs and activities focused on tips for early literacy, social-emotional support, healthy habits, and ways for caregivers to support learning in and out of the classroom. Legendary Santa celebrated its 87th season in Richmond (at CMoR since 2005), continuing the timeless tradition of visiting Santa as he shares stories, memories, and love for all children. During the Legendary Santa visit, children have the opportunity to visit the Holiday Village, which explores holidays from six different cultures. In addition to all museum programming, CMoR updated exhibits as well as brough in a traveling exhibit for the summer. The community recognized CMoR's impact with awards from the Best of Virginia 2023 and Richmond Times-Dispatch Top Workplaces 2023.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
