Throughout my experience as the Museum's Coordinator, guests I have spoken with always seem surprised that the Museum is a non-profit organization. They are even more surprised when I explain the partnership between the City of Chino and the Chino Youth Museum Board of Directors. It sounds more complicated than it really is. The City provides the building rent free, pays for utilities and oversees the daily operations of the Museum. The Board is responsible for policy, procedures and all expenses including: staff, art supplies, exhibit maintenance, renovations, exhibit props, postage etc. Museum admission fees, fundraisers, and sponsorships offsets these expenses. So how can you help: · Tell your friends and family about the Museum. · Use igive.com or onecause.com when shopping on-line. · Enjoy our wishing well by donating the spare change you have on you. · Donate your change from admission. · Buy a ticket to our bi-annual Bingo Bashes (June date TBD). · Encourage your employer or your favorite local business to become a Sponsor of the Month. We look forward to continuing to provide a fun, safe place for you and your family to grow and learn. For questions or comments about how you can help, please call (909)464-0499.                                                                                                                               Natalie Caloca-Briones Community Service Coordinator                              ChinoYouth Museum
