State Street donates $750k to Children's Museum

State Street Corp. will donate $750,000 to the Boston Children's Museum.

Headquartered in Boston, State Street is a provider of financial services to institutional investors.

State Street said its donation will support an exhibit called "Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China," which seeks to explore contemporary Chinese life and culture through the eyes of children living in the metropolis of Hangzhou.

The exhibit is scheduled to open in Boston next May and run through December, followed by an international tour, the company said.

State Street's presence in China dates to 2000 when it entered an alliance with the Industrial Commercial Bank of China.

"Our active involvement in China's financial landscape has been instrumental in fueling our growth both in Boston and around the world," State Street chairman and chief executive Ronald E. Logue said in a statement.
