Q: How can I request a donation of admission passes to my school or organization for a fundraiser?
A: The Museum fulfills hundreds of donation requests from school and community organizations each year. We will provide two passes good for five admissions each (total value: $110) to not-for-profit organizations for fundraising events that are not religious or political in nature.
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.
