Endowment Fund
Managed by The North Carolina Community Foundation, the CMoW's Endowment Fund was established in 2009 as a source of perpetual and permanent funding to support CMoW.

The Children's Museum of Wilmington is excited to announce we have reached our $25,000 Endowment Match Challenge Goal. Ned and Margaret Barclay graciously established The Children's Museum of Wilmington Endowment Fund several years ago. In 2018, they very generously offered the $25,000 match challenge.
"Thoughtful and unwavering donors like Ned and Margaret are the cornerstone of the Museum's financial success, we are so thankful to have them as supporters," states Jim Karl, former CMoW Executive Director.
