Major Gift Planning
The Museum's Major Gift Planning staff is available to assist you, without obligation, as you reflect on your interests and best methods for supporting the Museum's vision to inspire and motivate our children to achieve their full potential in the fields of science, technology, medicine and engineering. Our staff will work with your attorney, accountant or financial advisor to provide options that help you fulfill your financial needs and philanthropic goals.
