ANNUAL FUND
By donating to the museum, you are helping us sustain our long running educational programs, grow our collection, and create unique experiences. Thanks to your generous support, we have been able to connect visitors to the splendor of the natural world through rocks, minerals, gems, and fossils. Your donation helps educate future generations, giving our visitors something that lasts forever.
Donations of any amount are appreciated. If you are interested in sponsoring a specific program or exhibit please contact Aurore Giguet.
Charitable Giving Incentives as a Result of COVID-19
To encourage charitable giving this year, the CARES Act has created a number of tax incentives, including an “above the line” universal deduction of $300 for cash charitable contributions in 2020. You can claim this deduction without itemizing. Additionally, the CARES Act has increased tax deductible individual cash donations from 60% to 100% of AGI (Adjusted Gross Income). For businesses, the new law also increases the limit for cash charitable contributions from 10% to 25% of a corporation’s taxable income. Please check with the IRS or your tax advisor to find out more.
