About the company
Amazement Square, doing business as Amazement Square, The Rightmire Children's Museum, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Lynchburg, Virginia, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to design, fabricate, and deliver hands-on STEM and STEAM educational exhibitions and outreach programs for children, families, educators, and early learners across Central Virginia. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it holds no federal contracts and does not compete for federal contracting vehicles.
Amazement Square's federal funding portfolio centers on the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which accounts for four of nine recent awards. The most recent and largest award, a $1.7 million Museums for America project grant (CFDA 45.301) received on September 1, 2026, funds the design, fabrication, and installation of "STEM to Mars: The Art and Science of Propulsion," a permanent exhibition featuring hands-on, large-scale interactives, multimedia experiences, and immersive simulations of life aboard the International Space Station. The exhibition will engage Central Virginia middle school students and the museum's 80,000 annual visitors in learning about propulsion physics, life-support systems, spacecraft design, and energy solutions for lunar and Martian missions, with performance through August 31, 2028. Earlier IMLS Museums for America awards include a $341,278 project grant (September 2023, completed August 2025) to partner with five Central Virginia libraries to develop and deliver monthly STEAM programs for at-risk early learners not enrolled in early learning facilities, funded mobile maker spaces, and supported paid college internships; and a project grant (November 2021, completed October 2022) partnering with local school divisions and Centra Health's autism and developmental services to address social-emotional and academic learning loss from COVID-19 for children with autism spectrum disorders. The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science and the National Endowment for the Arts account for the remaining four and one awards, respectively. Combined obligated funding across all nine awards is $3.2 million, with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Amazement Square operates as a children's museum serving as an educational anchor for community STEM and STEAM programming, with no subcontracting relationships or federal contracting exposure in its recent award history.
