Q: How can I request a donation of admission passes to my school or organization for a fundraiser?

A: The Museum fulfilled donation requests from over 600 school and community organizations in 2009. We will provide two passes good for five admissions each (total value: $100) to not-for-profit organizations for fundraising events that are not religious or political in nature.

Requests must contain ALL of the following:

• Written/typed on your organization's letterhead
• Have a description of the event
• Contain an enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope (#10 size) Please be sure to include the requesting organization's name on the envelope (even if it will be mailed to a committee member's home).

Due to the high volume of requests, we will not be able to fulfill any requests for donations which do not include all 3 requirements. Unfortunately, we are unable to acknowledge receipt of requests. Please allow two months for processing of your request.

Please note: we are unable to donate other offerings, such as memberships or camps.

As we are a not-for-profit, we do not receive any tax-deduction for our donation to your organization, so we do not require a receipt. Please feel free to save the postage and printing.
