UTICA, N.Y. — Chobani has awarded a $250,000 grant to the Utica Children’s Museum to support the development of its World Market Gallery, according to an email from the organization.
The museum was selected as a recipient by Chobani’s Central New York employees. The donation will directly fund the exhibit, which will showcase multiple cultures, foods, languages, traditions, and activities from ancestorial countries of people living in the local community.
With help from the Chobani grant, the exhibit will help children build cultural awareness and celebrate the diversity of communities and families in the Mohawk Valley. Children will be able to role play stations featuring the music, art, food, and language of different world regions.

We look forward to opening our all-new museum in 2024.”
In 2017, the museum and Integrated Community Alternatives Network (ICAN) entered into a managed-services contract with ICAN taking over the museum’s operations, development, marketing, and facility upkeep. In 2020, the two organizations announced the museum would close its location near the Utica train station and move to a new facility to be built at 106 Memorial Parkway. The new museum is set to open this spring.
