Individual Giving

The Museum of Science is a nonprofit organization that relies on a variety of funding sources for its exhibits and programs. In addition to help from corporations, foundations, and government agencies, the generosity of individual donors enables the Museum to develop and produce cutting-edge exhibits, host world-renowned traveling exhibits, and present inspiring and educational interactive programs to almost 1.6 million visitors each year.

We thank our members and donors for their loyalty and enthusiasm, and look forward to working with new friends as we grow as a world-class science and technology center.
