According to the American Association of Museums publication of “Fast Facts: Here Are 12 Facts About U.S. Museums” fact # 4: “Every week, Americans donate 1 million hours of their time to museums, with a total annual value of more than $1 billion.
The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis’ 540 volunteers in 2010 contributed 72,301 hours with a contributed value of $1,544,439.
Thirty Museum Apprentices, ages 13-18, the museum women’s Guild and Board of Trustees, Corporate partners, families, and 60 university interns all shared their time and talent to establish these amazing numbers.
