The museum had a direct impact on over 71,000 people through field trips, camps, STEAM nights and in person visits. Our total impact was beyond 102,500 people. We transformed our water shed area, installing a new custom-made water table reflecting the Chesapeake Watershed complete with a full-sized crab fishing boat. We also added a Food Truck to our Discover the Valley: Food for Thought exhibit on the second floor completing the farm to fork loop. Our new food truck invites visitors to cook their bounty collected from all of the other exhibit components throughout the floor. We celebrated our ribbon cutting on second floor with an enormous amount of community excitement for the new educational components. Our community also gathered to celebrate a fun Star Light Star Bright Illuminate the Night gala in September. We got the opportunity to welcome back a wonderful family who have supported and celebrated the museum several times through the years. This year they decided to kick off the Hess Family Summer Camp Scholarship fund. We continue to grow our attendance raising the number of active members families from 685 families in 2023 to 720 families in 2024. Our summer camps welcomed 503 total campers even though the local school systems shortened the summer vacation by almost 2 full weeks. We were able to offer 71 scholarships. We also welcomed 10% of our total attendance as Mission Driven attendance; including either free or reduced attendance for over 4,500 visitors. The Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum stays firmly committed to opening our doors as wide as possible and adding wonderful new ways to achieve our mission of: Sparking Curiosity and Inspiring Learning Through Exploration and Creative Play. 610928 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 27 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false true false true true true true false X X DAWN DEVINE 5407222020 19 WEST CORK STREET WINCHESTER VA 22601 DAWN DEVINE Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 99330 0 0 NEILE MARTIN PAST PRESIDENT 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DR JASON CRAIG Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 COURTNEY WARNER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SAVORY BEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DR YOLANDA BARBIER-GIBSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HODGSON BRAD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN REIMER Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DR COLETTE SABBAGH President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DR STEPHANIE LESSARD-PILON Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 HOLLY OWENS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NAN BRYANT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROSSI SELZER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 COURTENAY NANTZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARYBETH WHITACRE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TAYLOR WILMOTH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 99330 0 false false false 0 91972 222113 314085 ADMISSION FEES 900099 469196 469196 469196 54162 54162 0 0 0 147522 68476 79046 79046 79046 49938 9352 40586 0 29976 9758 20218 20218 MISCELLANEOUS 6455 6455 6455 983748 574915 54162 0 0 0 0 99330 71469 13833 14028 0 252366 181582 35832 34952 0 10293 7405 1454 1434 28370 20413 4006 3951 0 0 0 0 0 0 50903 18640 32263 6839 5813 342 684 0 9871 8884 790 197 0 0 3772 3772 0 0 0 0 149044 146064 1490 1490 9549 8117 955 477 MAINTENANCE 24249 23765 242 242 UTILITIES 22616 22164 226 226 BANK FEES 21667 20584 1083 EXHIBITS 18309 18202 107 64687 54054 9222 1411 771865 610928 100762 60175 619455 635379 0 85827 42343 0 0 0 0 6275 4961 9570 14468 5256533 1730316 3535088 3526217 1003047 1247283 48071 50390 0 0 41107 41107 5348440 5562148 21638 29205 48709 46129 70347 75334 X 4470696 4775270 807397 711544 5278093 5486814 5348440 5562148 211883 2294 -5456 X true X false false false X 452831 438969 459422 316750 314085 1982057 0 0 452831 438969 459422 316750 314085 1982057 0 1982057 19447 22601 20922 45537 54162 162669 0 0 2144726 0.92420 0.94710 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 840176 13340 96141 37025 912632 778180 580 106066 44650 840176 868873 600 -91293 778180 790542 31134 72197 25000 868873 740484 9334 68724 28000 790542 false false false 231731 231731 4193402 1142683 3050719 831400 587633 243767 3526217 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote As of December 31, 2024, the Museum has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
