ANNUAL Fund
Each year CHOM serves over 60,000 visitors, offering unequaled opportunities to learn through play in unique hands-on exhibits, outreach visits to community and schools, curriculum specific field trips for students and teachers, and through popular events and public programs throughout the year known providing excitement and variety. One of our largest challenges is to not only maintain our 24,000 square foot building with its 21 permanent exhibits, classrooms, party rooms, meeting rooms and gallery space, but to continue to update and add new fun so that all experiences continue to be exciting and innovative. Curiosity, creativity and discovery are at the core of all that we do for children and are only possible by meeting challenges presented by the children who are our audience. Annual gifts truly make all of this possible. Behind the scenes costs have always been very real and necessary, but never more so than now, as they enable us to continue to offer the very best to our children. A tax deductible gift to our Annual Fund campaign is a gift for now and for the future!
If you are interested in making a tax deductible Annual Fund Gift, or would simply like to learn more about it, please contact Charlotte Gibson at (205) 349-4235 ext. 14, or email her at charlotte@chomonline.org.
ENDOWMENT TRUST
CHOM’s Endowment Fund is the foundation that provides financial security for our future. Now in our 25th year, we work not only to provide current, exciting hands-on learning for children, families and students, but we work for continued growth and excellence as a museum. We are fortunate that our Endowment Fund is well established and CHOM remains committed to its continued growth. Our Endowment Fund is the solid bedrock of our museum, ensuring that we will be here for generations to come even in the midst of change and challenge.

How wonderful it is to make a tax deductible gift that truly impacts the world in a positive way. Making a tax deductible Memorial or Honorarium to CHOM gives you the chance to recognize the important people whose lives have touched you, and also helps us to make the lives of children better. From your heart to the hearts of children, what could be better? CHOM is pleased to share with you the fact that formal acknowledgement cards for Memorials and Honorariums are sent within 48-72 hours after we receive your donation, so the business, families or individuals you have honored are immediately made aware of your caring gift.
