More Ways to Give
Looking for unique ways to give? Seeking more control over how your gifts are used? MSI offers creative and flexible giving options designed to better meet your needs.
Gifts of securities
If you make a mutual fund or stocks gift, instead of cash, you will likely enjoy greater tax savings: your cost to make a gift will be lower and the impact of your charitable dollars will be higher. See the link below for details. If you have questions, email Sandra Avelar or call (773) 947-3148.
In-kind gifts
You can help MSI reduce its expenses and be a better steward of gifts by donating goods or services. Examples include artifacts for our exhibits, food and beverages for events, supplies for educational programming; the list goes on and on.
Volunteering
Bring science to life for our guests by serving as a Museum volunteer.
