Why Support LICM?

Your support helps LICM create hands-on learning opportunities for all children and families and ensures that those with the greatest need have access to all the Museum has to offer.

Our team takes pride in offering extensive access programs for the families in our community, including those that are; economically disadvantaged, raising children with disabilities, involved in the family court system, and acclimating to the U.S. school system.

Half of everything we do is made possible through grants, donations, memberships, sponsorships and fundraising events.
