Thank you to the following businesses, entities and people!

Red Dog Children's Museum received a 2023 Attraction Development Grant from Kansas Tourism.  This grant helped kick off Phase I of our museum - our "Roaming" trailer with exhibits to hoof it around SW Kansas promoting.  

GCC and CoBank provided a matching grant that funded a cross section of a grain elevator that children could move colored balls (grain) around to see how a working grain elevator operates.  

FCEDC provided RDCM which much needed guidance and assistance in our infancy.

WKCF provided a community grant that assisted with the Food Truck exhibit, awarded us a year of fundraising coaching through Bonterra's JumpStart program, and helped promote us for their MatchDay giving event.

Great Plains MakerSpace has helped RDCM with fabrication and other building resources for the creation of our exhibits.

Finney County Farm Bureau gave RDCM unrestrictive funds through WKCF. 

Tyson gave RDCM unrestrictive funds through their community corporate giving.

Greg Hands was a fourth-generation farmer in the Plymell area who was a family man and a servant leader in the Garden City community, serving on the board of the Garden City Co-op for twelve years and in multiple roles at the First United Methodist Church.  While attending college at KSU, he served as Vice-President of his Fraternity, Alpha Gamma Rho, and had been State President of the Future Farmers of America, a Farm Bureau member and a supporter of several other agricultural organizations. His family wished to give other children the opportunity to play "carpet farming" with a myriad of farm toys.  "Grandpa Greg's Farm" will be joining the agricultural exhibit in memory of Greg Hands.  

We are so grateful for the support of the communities we serve!  Every dollar matters and helps facilitate a safe space for children and families to play, grow, and learn through exhibits, programming, and activities that provide young children a foundation for educational growth and community and cultural appreciation.    

We sincerely appreciate all the help from the following people and organizations who have helped RDCM come to fruition!
