Support
Portland Children's Museum is supported through member contributions, sponsorships, foundation grants, federal grants, and the support of generous individuals. Be a Kid Again, the Museum's annual Spring fundraiser brings together museum supporters and local eateries, brewers, and wineries for an exclusive adults-only evening at the museum.
While the museum has a full-time staff, it depends on volunteers at every level of the organization. Over 715 community members of all ages volunteer annually, contributing their time to support everything from arts programs to the annual fundraiser.

Famous quotes containing the word support:

—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“I make this direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war, if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the Axis than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an Axis victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
