celebrating 50 years
In 2024 we celebrated our 50th anniversary. We believe all children in our nation’s capital deserve a place where they can experience the power of play. Together, we can inspire children to care about and change the world.
The Museum commemorated this milestone through, the Stories Project, a community archive initiative, Placita Mágica, a special exhibit honoring a beloved experience from a previous Museum location, and the Dreamers Gala, an event honoring our past and toasting to our future. Alongside these initiatives, we launched a year-long fundraising effort to celebrate 50 years of serving our community and to secure a strong financial foundation for the next 50 years of playful learning.
Your gift to the Dreamers Fund is essential to support the Museum’s experience and general operations and address its most pressing needs. All gifts are 100% tax deductible.
As a congressionally designated institution, the Museum serves as a platform for national dialogue and global cultural education. However, the Museum does not receive appropriated federal funding and relies on generous supporters who invest in its mission of inspiring children to care about and change the world. The Museum is a 501(c)3 and its EIN is 23-7423491.
