From fundamental concepts to socialization skills, research shows that play has a positive impact on a child's academic performance - and the more often they engage in play at an environment like the one shared at CMoR, the more likely they are to find success inside the classroom. In FY24, CMoR saw total attendance of 307,003 guests. 477504 0 583520 Education & Outreach: Play is a critical element to encourage healthy development in children, fostering skills that will stay with them well into adolescence and adulthood. At CMoR, children's growth is inspired by engaging families in the power of play, knowing that everyone can learn more - and develop more rapidly - when families play together. Our exhibits and experiences fuel children's problem-solving skills, motor development skills, language skills, spatial skills and coordination, communication and negotiation skills, creative skills, and pre-reading and reading comprehension skills. The Museum facilitated 870 field trips, which consisted of 16,603 students, through In-Museum, Museum-To-Go, and virtual field trips. 46926 0 114317 Museum Shop: The Museum Shop carries educational toys, games, art and craft supplies, musical instruments, and hands-on projects that support children's learning experiences. 170691 0 86967 The CMoR Book Bank distributes books to children from low-income households; in FY24, we distributed 23,314 books, primarily to children for the home libraries. 44% of field trips were free or reduced price through our Access for All scholarship program and 697 scholarship memberships donated to families in need. More than 45,200 visitors utilized our Museums for All program, which provides discount admission to families who access SNAP, WIC, and/or EBT benefits. A monthly evening for children with disabilities and their families welcomed 1,505 attendees to experience the Museum with lower sensory inputs, a cool-down room, and volunteers from VCU's occupational therapy program. In the lead up to the new school year, CMoR helped to prepare families for kindergarten readiness with programs and activities focused on tips for early literacy, social-emotional support, healthy habits, and ways for caregivers to support learning in and out of the classroom. Legendary Santa celebrated its 87th season in Richmond (at CMoR since 2005), continuing the timeless tradition of visiting Santa as he shares stories, memories, and love for all children. During the Legendary Santa visit, children have the opportunity to visit the Holiday Village, which explores holidays from six different cultures. In addition to all museum programming, CMoR updated exhibits as well as brough in a traveling exhibit for the summer. The community recognized CMoR's impact with awards from the Best of Virginia 2023 and Richmond Times-Dispatch Top Workplaces 2023. 170691 86967 2891578 true true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true 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 true 12 0 true 104 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false X 25 25 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false VA X X X X Danielle Ripperton 8044747000 2626 W Broad Street Richmond VA 23220 Chris Way Secretary 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Gordon Crenshaw Treasurer 3.0 X X 0 0 0 Lynn Mussatt Chair 5.0 X X 0 0 0 Sally Tate Chair Elect 3.0 X X 0 0 0 Amy Kelley Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Ashley Peterson Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Barbara Markham Smith Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Becky Mann Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Bentley Chan Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Brendan Staley Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Chelsea Carroll Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Dana Callahan Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Doug Stroup Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Lara D'Antonio Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Loretta Tabb Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Martha Schley K Smith Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Mary Bigelow Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Mary Colleen Beers Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Paulin Cheatham Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Rayhan Daudani Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Shawn Harrigan Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Sigmund Collins Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Tamarah Holmes Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Ted Moore Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 William Muangala Trustee 1.0 X 0 0 0 Danielle Ripperton Executive Director 50.0 X 151121 0 26088 151121 0 26088 1 false true false 0 556559 7872 46500 1241457 100944 1852388 Admission Charges 611600 1072147 1072147 Special Event Charges 611600 583520 583520 Program Activity Charges 611600 86967 86967 0 0 0 0 1742634 160003 160003 0 0 1190986 1131008 59978 0 59978 59978 70375 7872 62503 7872 7872 237280 122963 114317 114317 0 0 0 0 0 3937192 1856951 0 227853 189878 47469 94939 47470 1602161 1243149 215244 143768 115775 88980 14925 11870 119707 90683 17577 11447 27983 23786 4197 0 107586 107586 19239 19239 51069 16004 34765 300 95199 72049 22700 450 20855 15213 1067 4575 11527 9976 1551 0 571261 536767 34494 0 22708 16138 6570 0 17605 4089 13219 297 7011 6310 701 0 333359 316691 16668 0 49446 42029 7417 0 Supplies 246069 240417 3656 1996 Bank Fees 95071 79614 14050 1407 Miscellaneous 58563 42214 5737 10612 0 0 0 0 3762072 2891578 528716 341778 932426 703764 971537 142464 65500 97500 4787 1265 0 0 0 69827 75263 203748 166437 11189369 7861474 3521975 3327895 2877186 4475041 0 0 1185182 1077815 9832168 10067444 253954 150825 265908 341904 0 196741 170676 1012352 894477 1728955 1557882 X 6654207 7116062 1449006 1393500 8103213 8509562 9832168 10067444 175120 231229 0 X false true X true false X 1560741 1922278 2931755 1797297 1852388 10064459 1561414 797383 1501608 1911969 1979914 7752288 15088 15088 0 0 3122155 2734749 4433363 3709266 3832302 17831835 10000 0 20896 20255 11831 62982 0 0 0 0 0 0 10000 0 20896 20255 11831 62982 17768853 26050 19144 40290 66085 160003 311572 0 26050 19144 40290 66085 160003 311572 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3148205 2753893 4473653 3775351 3992305 18143407 0.9794 0.987 0.02 0.0097 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1429912 188633 73217 1545328 1388858 145866 104812 1429912 1569990 -181132 1388858 1348170 288606 66786 1569990 1058651 289519 1348170 0.31 0.69 0.0 false false 7964440 4941996 3022444 187428 163878 23550 3037501 2755600 281901 3327895 Legendary Santa 150000 CSV of Life Insurance 41908 Right of Use Asset, Operating Lease 885907 1077815 Operating Lease Liability 894477 894477 X 4334648 231229 0 231229 4103419 19239 -185466 -166227 3937192 3928299 185466 185466 3742833 19239 0 19239 3762072 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds THE MUSEUM'S ASSETS INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY 20 INDIVIDUAL DONOR-RESTRICTED FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES.
