Thanks to a generous $25,000 matching gift from a member of our Board of Directors, we're already halfway to our $50,000 Giving Tuesday goal! Now, we need your help to reach the finish line and put the full matching gift to work for the Museum. Every contribution brings us one step closer to unlocking the full potential of this generous commitment and creating more opportunities for children and families. Let's reach our goal together!

Give the Gift of Play. Shape a Child's Future.

Every child deserves a place where curiosity is encouraged, imagination runs wild, and learning feels like an adventure. For more than 36 years, Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose has brought children and families together through the power of play, creating opportunities to explore, discover, create, and grow.

But these experiences don't happen by accident. They happen because of a community that believes in children and invests in their potential.

Your Giving Tuesday gift helps keep the Museum a welcoming, accessible place for every family. Together, we can inspire more moments of wonder, spark new discoveries, and help today's children become tomorrow's visionaries.

The Museum belongs to all of us. Thank you for helping kids lead the way!
