Support Overview
We are so grateful for our donors who help us provide the opportunity for Atlanta's families to explore and grow through hands-on play. As a nonprofit, admissions and membership sales cover approximately half of what it takes to bring the power of play to over 180,000 children and caregivers each year. Your support is vital! Thank you for helping us achieve our mission as we envision a bright future for all children — we couldn't do it without you.

Corporate & Foundation Giving
Corporate Giving
Corporate leadership is a vital part of supporting the Museum's mission. To change the world by sparking every child's sense of learning through the power of play, Exhibit and program sponsorships, support of community outreach initiatives, and corporate volunteerism are all ways corporations can contribute to the Museum and invest in both Georgia's children and the economic vibrancy of Atlanta's downtown district.
Foundation Giving
Foundation giving is key to the Museum's work in early childhood education and family engagement both inside our walls and out in the community. Private, family, and community foundation support is necessary to implement and continue a wide variety of Museum initiatives, including those that positively impact under-resourced schools and communities in Metro Atlanta.
We offer year-round opportunities for Corporate or Foundation contributions to match any marketing or company philanthropy budget. For more information, please contact the Advancement Team at (404) 420-9185.
Matching Gifts
Let your company double your impact! Please inquire with your Human Resources department to explore how you can increase your contribution.
If an employee makes a donation to a non-profit organization, companies with a matching gift program will make a matching gift to the same nonprofit organization based on the employee's donation. Companies often donate dollar-for-dollar, but some companies triple or quadruple the gift amount.
Legacy & Planned Giving
A planned gift to CMA is one of the most meaningful ways to ensure every child in Atlanta has a place to learn, grow, and discover — for generations to come. Planned gifts of all sizes form the foundation of CMA's long-term fiscal stability. When you include CMA in your estate plan, you're not just making a donation — you're ensuring that the power of play reaches children in Atlanta long after you're gone.
Estate & Will Planning
Include CMA as a beneficiary in your will or trust. A bequest of any size helps secure our mission for future generations. Your attorney can help you add CMA to an existing plan.
Stock Donations
CMA makes stock donations simple — complete in 10 minutes or less. Donating appreciated securities may offer significant tax advantages over a cash gift.
Endowments
An endowed gift creates a permanent, named fund at CMA. The principal is invested and the earnings support CMA's programs in perpetuity — a true lasting legacy.
Retirement Assets / IRA
Name CMA as a full or partial beneficiary of your IRA or retirement plan. This is often one of the most tax-efficient ways to make a planned gift.
