No family should navigate the early childhood journey alone.
Keep the spirit of giving alive! This Giving Hearts Day, Tuesday, February 12th, help the Great Plains Children’s Museum raise $26,000 to bring vital resources and play experiences to families who need it most.
Your gift helps us reach our Giving Hearts Day goal to maximize our community’s matching funds and fuel our expansion plan.
Pop-Ups
We plan to expand our vital Pop-Up Mobile Museum program to host 26 interactive events in 2026.
Think of a Pop-Up as a "temporary mobile museum." We set up for a short period of time in a location that is best suited to connecting with children.
We're planning to visit 26 different locations with our Pop-Ups during 2026.
Locations
We’re committing to reaching 26 different community locations to combat isolation and serve families across the entire Fargo-Moorhead area.
While the 26 locations have not yet been fully scheduled, we plan to spread them across the Fargo-Moorhead region. Once a final list and schedule are ready, we will post it here.
