Unique regional asset CMEO is the sole children’s museum in Eastern Oregon, presenting a unique opportunity for regional partnerships with schools, libraries, and child-focused nonprofits to co-host educational programs and field trips.

Community engagement With over 14,000 visitors annually and more than 150 memberships, there is strong demand for family-friendly STEM and early learning experiences, suggesting opportunities for sponsorships, memberships drives, and event-based partnerships.

Low revenue base Current revenue is in the non-profit range with a possible constraint on expansion funds; potential donors, grant opportunities, and corporate sponsorships could be pursued to scale programs and exhibits.

Tech-enabled outreach CMEO utilizes Google Cloud CDN, Wix, and other tech stacks, indicating receptiveness to digital partnerships, online event bookings, remote learning components, and augmented exhibit storytelling.

Exhibit and program expansion With 14 active exhibits and ongoing classes, there is room to upsell premium programs, seasonal camps, professional development for educators, and collaborative exhibit sponsorships with local businesses.
