Community Access Partner Application

MISSION

In keeping with MoPOP’s core value of open arms and radical hospitality, the CAP program is committed to overcoming access barriers to the museum through in-depth, intentional partnerships with organizations that strive to serve their communities.

TARGET POPULATION

CAP serves the following populations.

Indigenous peoples
Refugees and immigrants, including undocumented immigrants
POC in need (including but not limited to Black, Latinx, API, and South Asian people)
LGBTQ identified youth
Homeless and low-income youth and adults
Disabled and neuroatypical youth and adults
Survivors of abuse
Formerly incarcerated youth and adults

PARTNER BENEFITS

Organizations only need to apply to the program once, and if admitted, will be considered ongoing partners; however, partners will need to renew their benefits annually.

As a baseline, all partners will receive the following:

A number of free individual tickets to the museum for use by anyone in the organization’s client base and by accompanying staff members
Up to 2 free group visits for a minimum of 10 and maximum of 90 people

Benefits last a year starting from when the partner is accepted, and do not roll over.
Additional benefits are customized to the organization’s needs and arranged between partner and museum staff.
These may include:

Interactive museum experiences (e.g. tours, workshops, art activities, etc.)
Use of MoPOP’s event spaces for community gatherings
Funding for transportation to the museum
Free passes to public programs and events (e.g. Sound Off!, Pop+, Movies at MoPOP, etc.)

*Organizations are also welcome to request a free, one-time group visit to the museum.

ELIGIBILITY

Must be a non-profit with 501c3 status or a government entity or an indigenous community organization

Any organization that meets the above criteria is encouraged to apply. We give preference to organizations which
