Following the opening of the new Chandler Museum in December of 2018, the City of Chandler established the Chandler Museum Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization to raise awareness and provide additional financial support for the new museum. Comprised of a Board of Directors, appointed by the City of Chandler Mayor and Council, the Foundation is charged with seeking funding and earning revenue for the Museum's benefit.
The Foundation oversees the operation of the Museum Store and Museum Rental Program.
Meetings are usually held at 5:30 p.m. on the 3rd Monday of every month at the Chandler Museum, 300 S. Chandler Village Dr., Chandler AZ 85226.
All upcoming Chandler Museum Executive Subcommittee meetings will be moved from the 1st Monday of the month at 1 p.m. to the first Wednesday of the month at 2 p.m. The new dates for this fiscal year’s remaining meetings will be as follows: May 7 at 2 p.m. and June 4 at 2 p.m.
Mission Statement

Vision Statement
To enable the Chandler Museum to be known locally, regionally, and nationally as a community centerpiece of culture, history, and art.
