Annual Fund
Help inspire and motivate our children to achieve their full potential in the fields of science, technology, medicine and engineering with a gift to the Museum’s Annual Fund.
The Annual Fund provides the vital funding needed to keep your favorite exhibits in top-notch condition while maintaining our building - the only remaining building from the 1893 Columbian Exposition - in pristine shape. By contributing to the Museum's Annual Fund, you are also supporting Museum-sponsored educational opportunities and programs for students and teachers both at the Museum and in the community.
We welcome gifts of any amount; a gift of $1,000 or more entitles you to exclusive Columbian Society benefits.
Gifts of $100 or more will be listed in the Museum's Annual Report. All donors receive a complimentary subscription to the Museum of Science and Industry's Campaign Newsletter for donors.
