Help build the space

Our Wishlist

There are plenty of ways to help that don't require writing a big check.

How the Discovery Center is funded

Mecosta County Kids Discovery Center is not a nonprofit organization. Contributions and sponsorships are not tax-deductible charitable donations.

We do not receive government grants or government funding. Apart from the generous people and businesses who choose to help, Jennifer personally funds the expenses of building and operating the center.

Every wishlist purchase, contribution, and sponsorship helps us create more opportunities for our community.
