Welcome spring with an evening of connection, community, and giving at the Next Generation Initiative (NGI) Spring Social!

Join us Wednesday, April 9 at the DuPage Children’s Museum from 5:30–7:30 p.m. for appetizers and drinks while mingling with fellow philanthropists and NGI members. You'll also get an inside look at how the museum—our spring grantee—is nurturing joyful discovery and learning.

The Edward and Wanda Jordan Family Foundation will match all contributions toward NGI’s grant for DuPage Children’s Museum, totaling up to $2,500.

The NGI grant supports the operations of two community-based early learning programs at DuPage Children's Museum (DCM):

Family Access Open House: This program welcomes new families who qualify for the reduced-price Access Membership. In partnership with local organizations, DCM invites families to explore the Museum, connect with staff, and learn about membership benefits, events, and programs—all in a colorful, engaging environment.

Early Learning Museum Pop-Ups: These interactive experiences bring the Museum’s playful learning materials to community spaces like libraries and community centers. The Pop-Ups have facilitated activities that use hands-on learning and meaningful engagement for both children and their caregivers.

With your support, DCM can continue to create joyful, accessible learning experiences for families in the community. We can’t wait to see you there!
