[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid Museums' annual report is right on their website:
https://kid-museum.org/annual-report-2021/

In 2021, they got about $570k in government grants, but it doesn't break down there from which organizations. I see MCED (Economic Development) is listed as a big sponsor, but not MCPS.

The location used to be a food court that slowly died away, then the offices for a design firm (Street Sense). It's a weird space not conducive to typical offices. Location is great -- directly on top of the metro. I don't think you'll find any large spaces at street level with such good metro access in the county. As for Silver Spring access, the Purple Line will be done in a couple years and that will have a station in both SS and Bethesda for a quick &lt; 15 minute journey.

The latest IRS form 990 I can find for them is 2019. Their legal name is &quot;MOCO KIDSCO, INC&quot; if you want to look them up. I see no red flags there (I am trained in forensic accounting). The board is all volunteer and the CEO earned $72k.

I've never been there, and I don't know anyone involved in it, but it seems like people are bashing them with little evidence behind their claims.[/quote]

Well you stink as a forensic accountant.  
Here are the payments from the Board of Education for the last two years.

That is quite a sum of money from the Board of Education.  [/quote]
