Junkyard Seed Money Campaign
Donation protected
This campaign is for seed money designed to be the first big fundraising effort to see the Memphis version of City Museum come to fruition.
The Junkyard (name subject to change) will be Memphis' first hands-on, knees-on, feet-on museum of art. Built from architectural salvage by professional artists, engineers and volunteers in the community, we will construct an organic work of art that will be a place for all ages.
You will NOT find pre-fabricated plastic playground equipment, these will be works of art designed for climbing! Teachers bring your students for team building, teenagers come get lost with your friends, parents drop off your kids for camp then come back and join them as the evening winds down, or take your family for a day of adventure that will ensure a different experience with each visit!
We have a strong and faithful board, we have amazing volunteers and we have a city that deserves this. Let's make it happen! Are you in?
How this works: The amount you contribute will be used in fundraising efforts to help secure larger donations that will be for: Capital campaign, building, operation costs, exhibit development and construction.
You may be wondering...
Q: How long will you be running the seed campaign?
A: Let's give it 6 months and see where we are at, shall we?
Q. What will happen to our donation during that time?
A. They will stay in the GoFundMe account. We are not going to withdraw them until we have raised our full amount and it looks as though we will get funding to move forward.
Q. What will happen to our donations if it looks like it isn't moving anywhere?
A. You will have your money refunded to you. GoFundMe assists us to make sure your money is returned to you should the project not move forward.
