The Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals
Spring Hours: Wednesday to Sunday 10am-5pm. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
Double Your Impact!
This year, our Board of Directors has launched a Board Matching Challenge, matching all gifts to the museum up to $53,000.
That means your donation—whether $20, $1,000, or more—will have twice the impact.
This special opportunity runs through the end of the year or until the full match is met.
Did you know?
A new tax rule makes giving even more rewarding!
Beginning in 2026, taxpayers who take the standard deduction can also claim an “above-the-line” deduction for gifts to qualified nonprofits like the Rice Museum.
Make your gift today, double your impact through the Board Matching Challenge, and take advantage of this new opportunity to support the museum—your “above-the-line” deduction in 2026!
