Donate NowThe Bay Area Discovery Museum has a strong connection with its community, and its community has supported it generously since its inception in 1987. Approximately half of the Museum's revenue comes from contributions, and we're grateful for the generous support that we receive each year. Here are a few ways you can support the renowned programs of the Museum. Annual GivingBeing an indoor/outdoor Museum demands many extra expenses, which are not covered by regular membership or admission fees. You may earmark your gift to help fund the restoration of one of our top priorities:
Your gift could be worth even more if your company offers a matching gift program. Contributions to the Bay Area Discovery Museum Annual Fund are non-membership gifts and are fully tax-deductible. Click here to donate. Gift in TributeA gift in tribute to the Bay Area Discovery Museum is a thoughtful way to celebrate a special occasion or to honor family or friends. When you make a gift in tribute, a personalized card in acknowledgment is sent to the individual or family being honored, without reference, of course, to the size of the gift. Gifts made in tribute support the Annual Fund. For information please contact Leslie Mehren at lmehren(at)badm.org or 415-339-3940. |
