GREAT COMMUNITY GIVE 2026
THANK YOU For your generous support!

The final tallies are in—gifts counted, matches made, and prizes awarded. We are thrilled to share the results of this year’s Great Community Give!

Because of your generosity, Explore More Discovery Museum received 288 individual donations, unlocked a $25,000 match, and raised more than $160,000 in support of our mission. What an incredible outpouring of care and commitment for the children and families we serve!

We are also deeply grateful to a special friend of the Museum whose generous leadership gift doubled your contributions and helped inspire even more community support. And of course, we extend heartfelt thanks to the Community Foundation of Harrisonburg and Rockingham for their ongoing commitment to strengthening all of our important nonprofits and making this day possible.

At Explore More, we invite our community to "Come In, Get Happy" by creating spaces where joy and discovery happen side by side. You help create happy moments for thousands of children and families throughout the year, and we are truly grateful for your support.

Thank you! ❤️
