Fiscal Year 2025: Belonging Report | Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine

At the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine, belonging is at the core of everything we do. The 2024–2025 Belonging Report reveals both the growing challenges families face and the difference community support makes. Today, more than 42% of Maine households live below the ALICE threshold, families who work but still struggle to afford essentials like childcare, which can consume up to 45% of a family’s income. As a result, requests for scholarship memberships have risen by 37% in just two years, with the total value of subsidies climbing by 73%. This report highlights how, together, we are meeting those urgent needs, ensuring that every child has a place to play, learn, and belong.
