The need for access is not static, it is growing.

Since 2021, participation in the Access Pass program has increased dramatically, from hundreds of visits to thousands each year. In 2024, the program supported over 7,000 visits, with tens of thousands of dollars in costs covered by the C2C Fund.

This growth reflects a clear reality: more families need support to access educational experiences.

Your gift helps ensure we can continue to meet that need. Make a gift now at https://bit.ly/4tYkjPS

With support from the City of Bloomington’s Solar, Energy Efficiency, and Lighting (SEEL) Program, the museum’s on the right track for improving its efficiency and sustainability!

One of the things that has helped in steadily reducing our energy usage and costs is the 2025 Cool Roof replacement.
The roof replacement was funded through the SEEL Energy Efficiency Grants and completed using Cool Roof Rating Council certified products.

WonderLab is proud to stand alongside other local nonprofits taking meaningful climate action, all made possible through the City of Bloomington’s commitment to a greener future.

Interested in who all have participated in the program? Check out the SEEL Grants Map to see past grant recipients and their locations of installations here: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/1fec2871058c4f4692d2ca39aca4692e/page/Map
