Patron Foundation - Culture for Kids

The mission of the Patron Foundation is to increase cultural opportunities for children beyond the classroom by making field trips to arts and cultural institutions part of every child's educational experience.

In keeping with that commitment, the Patron Foundation has developed the "Culture for Kids" Program to fund museum, zoo, aquarium and performing arts field trips for children in grades Pre-K through 12, subsidizing the cost for both admission and transportation.

Grants awarded through the Program are intended to:

Promote early exposure to the arts through schools and community programs.
Provide children with access to high-quality arts and cultural experiences.
Extend learning beyond classroom walls through cultural field trips.
