New York City’s 9/11 memorial fundraises to educate youth with $25 million match from Mike Bloomberg
Mike Bloomberg will match the next $25 million as the museum seeks permanent support for exhibits, teacher programs and free access for students, first responders and veterans.
- On Wednesday, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum launched a $75 million fundraising campaign, with former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg pledging to match the next $25 million through Bloomberg Philanthropies.
- CEO Beth Hillman says the organization needs a permanent funding source beyond $36 ticket sales to reach roughly 100 million Americans born after the attacks and provide trusted factual information.
- Funds will ensure free museum access for students, first responders and veterans while supporting new on-site exhibits like Their Honor and classroom materials explaining the Sept events to younger generations.
- As the 25th anniversary approaches this Sept, officials aim to frame the aftermath as a story of service, addressing contested legacies and conspiracy theories that have clouded public understanding.
- Narratives about overcoming division serve as an antidote to political polarization, says Alex Edgar, a civic leader with the group Made, arguing these resilience stories must permeate classroom walls and museum doors.
