DOWNERS GROVE, IL — DuPage Foundation recently awarded $5,000 to help support educational programming at DuPage Children's Museum (DCM) in Naperville. The grant is part of the foundation's Next Generation Initiative, which is "[d]esigned to foster community among young philanthropists in DuPage County," a news release said.
"Access to rich, engaging learning opportunities shouldn't be limited by geography, background,
or circumstance," DuPage Children's Museum President and CEO Andrea Ingram said in a statement.
Ingram added, "We believe in meeting children where they are—with experiences that help
them discover their potential and see themselves as learners, makers, and problem-solvers."
