Giving to the Museum

Charitable contributions to the Museum can have benefits that last a lifetime — and beyond. A legacy that includes the Museum of Science demonstrates a strong commitment to our mission of science and technology education. Your legacy can be made in a variety of ways: through a bequest in your will, through a gift that returns income for life to you, and/or through appreciated securities. Often, these gifts have dramatic tax and financial rewards for donors.

For more information about making a contribution to the Museum, please contact the Advancement Division.
