Individual Support

You can help us in so many ways!

By making an annual donation, you can help us grow as well as maintain The Discovery Museums' offerings. We work hard to keep our operating costs down. However, because admissions and membership cover approximately 66% of our operating expenses, we depend largely upon the generosity of friends like you. Your annual gift provides essential funds that enable us to inspire and educate children, parents, scout groups, grandparents, teachers, and school groups in a safe and stimulating environment.

Check out our giving levels below.

Gifts of $250 and above will receive our new Discovery Museums' eco-friendly tote bag (pictured below)!

In addition to cash or checks, we welcome a variety of other gifts which offer you important tax savings. These include securities, life insurance, and property - gifts that also build our endowment. Please call our Discovery Museums Development Office at (978) 264-4200 ext. 24 to make a gift or for assistance.

Also, we have non-monetary ways you can help!

  • Matching gifts - Many companies offer gift matching programs.  Please take a moment to contact your Human Resources Department to double your impact!  While you're at it, check to see whether your company is a TDM funder. If not, suggest that they consider it. If they are, please be sure to say thanks and let them know you too are a supporter.
  • Got an old car? - Donate your vehicle to the Museums and enjoy the tax benefit while we get 100% of the profits.  Learn more.
  • Http://www. - You can help the Museums while doing your online shopping. See our Web-based affiliates.
  • Wish List - Teach your child about philanthropy and check out our wish list.

All of your support at any level keeps our programs and exhibits fun, creative, affordable and available to all. Please don't hesitate to call us if you any questions or other ideas.  We thank you for your consideration since we literally couldn't do it without your generosity!
