Our Strategic Plan

We are thrilled to share our strategic plan as we embark on an exciting new chapter for the FLIP Museum. This two-year road map is not just a blueprint for growth—it's a commitment to adapt and evolve with the needs of our vibrant community.

Our vision is clear: to create inclusive and innovative spaces where all children, especially those from diverse and underserved backgrounds, find opportunities to connect and thrive. We believe in the power of play to bring children and caregivers together, foster deep connections, and advance equity in learning.

While this plan represents our aspirations for the Portland metropolitan area, we recognize the potential to be exponentially impactful by transforming into a truly community-driven organization. To this end, we will spend the next year engaging in dialogue with you, seeking your invaluable insights on key questions:

  • What would you want to include in a future children’s museum or play space?

  • What is missing or needs to be improved in the current children’s play spaces in your area?

  • What makes you feel welcomed, comfortable, or included in a space?

Informed by your voice, we will produce an evolved strategic plan in 2025. In the meantime, our focus over the next two years will be centered on four priorities:

Community Partnerships | Mobile Exhibits | Organizational Capacity | Financial Sustainability

Your participation, feedback, and support are the cornerstone of the FLIP Museum. As we navigate these next two years, we warmly invite you to be active participants in our journey. Together, we can create children’s museums that reflect the heart and soul of our community—a place where every child can flourish.

We look forward to growing with you.
