The Willard & Pat Walker Charitable Foundation recently donated $3 million to the Scott Family Amazeum in Bentonville.
The gift supports the Amazeum’s $25 million Expanding Futures Capital Campaign, which is expanding the Amazeum’s campus with three new areas: the Early Learning Advancement Center, The Hangout & Porch and The Backyard.
“We are deeply grateful to the Walker Foundation for this transformational investment,” said Seth Duell, capital campaign manager for the Amazeum. “Their support allows us to expand access to joyful learning experiences and strengthen early childhood education for families throughout our region.”
Construction on the expanded campus began in June 2025, with the new spaces expected to open in late 2026. With the support of community partners like the Walker Foundation, the Amazeum continues working toward a future filled with curiosity, creativity and play for generations to come.
