“(Expenses $ 153,297 including grants of $ 0)(Revenue $ 85,560) The CMoR Book Bank distributes books to children from low-income households; in FY25, we distributed 16,534 books, primarily to children for the home libraries. 42% of field trips were free or reduced price through our Access for All scholarship program and 549 scholarship memberships donated to families in need. Nearly 39,300 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 1,132 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 88th 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 brought in a traveling exhibit for the summer. The community recognized CMoR's impact with awards from the Best of Virginia 2025 and Richmond Times-Dispatch Top Workplaces 2025.”
