| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 - | MISSION STATEMENT CONTINUED: SNAPSHOT OF CMH TODAY - THE MUSEUM'S MISSION OF TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES THROUGH INNOVATIVE, CHILD-CENTERED LEARNING IS ACHIEVED BY ADDRESSING SIX KEY COMMUNITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH COMMUNITY FORUMS THAT INVOLVE 1) FOSTERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD POPULATION OF THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA; 2) INCREASING PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT; 3) PROVIDING LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT REINFORCE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION; 4) REDUCING EFFECTS OF POVERTY ON LEARNING; 5) SERVING A MULTICULTURAL, MULTILINGUAL POPULATION; AND 6) PROMOTING WORKFORCE READINESS. THE MUSEUM'S TARGET AUDIENCE IS THE FAMILIES OF CHILDREN AGES BIRTH THROUGH TWELVE. THESE FAMILIES ARE SERVED AT THE MUSEUM AND THROUGH COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMMING FACILITATED AT 430+ LOCATIONS ACROSS GREATER HOUSTON. MUSEUM ATTENDANCE OF 752,000 AND OUTREACH ATTENDANCE OF 557,000 IN FY19 RESULTED IN TOTAL ATTENDANCE OF 1.3 MILLION, REPRESENTING THE GREATEST REACH IN THE MUSEUM'S FORTY-YEAR HISTORY. THE MUSEUM MAINTAINS THE MOST EXTENSIVE FREE ADMISSION PRACTICES OF ALL THE NATION'S CHILDREN'S MUSEUMS. 33% OF MUSEUM VISITORS ARE ADMITTED FREE OF CHARGE AND 100% OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH IS FACILITATED FREE OF CHARGE TO PARTICIPANTS. THIS OUTREACH PRIORITIZES UNDER-RESOURCED, PREDOMINATELY NON-ANGLO NEIGHBORHOODS HAVING THE GREATEST LEVEL OF NEED. WITHIN THE 500 SQUARE MILES INSIDE OF BELTWAY 8, EVERY FAMILY LIVES WITHIN TWO MILES OF A COMMUNITY PARTNER THAT HOSTS THE MUSEUM'S OUTREACH PROGRAMS AND/OR DISTRIBUTES THE MUSEUM'S OPEN DOORS FAMILY ADMISSION PASSES. ALL EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS ENGAGE CHILDREN IN HANDS-ON, INQUIRY-BASED ACTIVITIES ALIGNED WITH THE TEXAS ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS (TEKS) STANDARDS THAT STRUCTURE SCHOOL EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS. PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT IS GUIDED BY THE BUILDING BLOCKS OBJECTIVES CREATED BY THE MUSEUM'S EDUCATORS TO ENSURE STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS WITH THE TEKS AND 21ST CENTURY WORKPLACE SKILLS. ALL PROGRAMMING IS FACILITATED IN BILINGUAL (ENGLISH/SPANISH) FORMATS, WITH TRANSLATION PROVIDED IN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES AS NEEDED. 55% OF THE MUSEUM'S PUBLIC CONTACT STAFF ARE BILINGUAL. A MANAGER OF CURRICULUM AND EVALUATION EVALUATES EACH OF THE MUSEUM'S EXHIBITS/PROGRAMS AT LEAST ANNUALLY WITH THE SUPPORT OF A BOARD EVALUATION COMMITTEE CHAIRED BY DR. CATHY HORN, PROFESSOR AND CHAIR THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND POLICY STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON. METHODS INCLUDE INDEPENDENT EVALUATIONS CONDUCTED BY PHD LEVEL RESEARCHERS AND INTERNAL EVALUATIONS COMPOSED OF PRE/POST-TESTS WITH COMPARISONS TO CONTROL GROUPS; SURVEYS THAT DETERMINE SATISFACTION LEVELS AND QUANTIFY PERCEPTIONS OF NEEDS/BENEFITS; AND FOCUS GROUPS THAT GENERATE QUALITATIVE FINDINGS. THE EVALUATIONS INDICATE A SUCCESS RATE OF 99% SINCE 2010 IN ACHIEVING/SURPASSING OUTPUT AND OUTCOME GOALS. THE MUSEUM RANKS AMONG THE BEST CHILDREN'S MUSEUMS NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, REGARDLESS OF THE CRITERIA EMPLOYED. IMPACTS ARE CONFIRMED IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON'S CULTURAL ARTS PLAN. A CONSULTANT WHO PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS A STAFF MEMBER OF THE FORD FOUNDATION CONDUCTED COMMUNITY TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND FOCUS GROUPS IN NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS HOUSTON, FOCUSING ON THOSE WITH HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, IMMIGRANTS AND NON-ANGLO MINORITIES. THE MUSEUM WAS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED BY PARTICIPANTS IN EVERY SETTING AS BENEFITTING FAMILIES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND MAKING THEM FEEL WELCOME ON-SITE. THE CULTURAL ARTS PLAN PRAISES THE SUCCESS OF THE MUSEUM'S DIVERSITY INITIATIVES, DECLARING THAT THE MUSEUM HAS "MASTERED THE ART OF OUTREACH," WITH VISITORS REPRESENTING THE FULL RANGE OF THE ETHNIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE REGION, AND WITH COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMMING PROVING TO BE "EQUALLY AS EFFECTIVE AS THE EXPERIENCES CREATED FOR VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM." |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | PROGRAM SERVICE 4A CONTINUED: OUTCOMES OF MUSEUM VISITS ARE EVALUATED ANNUALLY WITHIN A PROCESS OF CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT. THE SOCIOECONOMIC AND RACIAL/ETHNICS DEMOGRAPHICS OF MUSEUM VISITORS MIRROR THOSE OF HOUSTON, WITH 48% OF HISPANIC/LATINO DESCENT, FOLLOWED BY AFRICAN AMERICANS (23%), ANGLOS (21%), AND ASIAN AMERICANS (7%). |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | PROGRAM SERVICE 4B CONTINUED: THESE PARTNERSHIPS INCREASE COLLECTIVE IMPACTS WHILE REMOVING BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION AND EMPLOYING BEST-PRACTICE APPROACHES THAT ENABLE CHILDREN OF LOW-INCOME FAMILIES TO DEVELOP ASPIRATIONAL GOALS FOR SCHOOL COURSEWORK AND CAREERS. ALL PROGRAMS ARE EVALUATED ANNUALLY, WITH TARGETS SET FOR OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES. |
