331: Non-Profit Success With Rosie Lynch From Wild Child Museum

In this episode of The Profitable Play Podcast, I share a recorded coaching call with Rosie Lynch, founder of Wild Child Museum & Managerie, a non-profit indoor play space operating inside her local community center.

We discuss the strategic advantages of starting in a low-overhead location — including building a loyal customer base, growing a healthy financial foundation, and securing community and business sponsors — before moving into a larger, more costly space.

Topics covered include:

Creating consistent revenue to support hiring paid staff over volunteer reliance
Increasing social media presence and local visibility
Evaluating future expansion opportunities
Leveraging non-profit status to secure sponsors, grants, and community support

This episode offers practical insights for play space owners interested in sustainable growth, community partnerships, and non-profit operations.
