Legacy Giving
You have an important connection with us, and a legacy gift is the perfect way to continue that relationship. A legacy gift is …
- Easy to arrange and easy to revise
- Benefits you, your loved ones, and the museum
- Fit for anyone, regardless of funds
Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund is a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting organizations you care about, like ours.
*Gifts can’t be used toward museum membership under US tax laws.
IRA Gifting
Support science directly from your Individual Retirement Account. A qualified charitable distribution to the Science Museum of Minnesota can reduce your taxable income while advancing STEM education. To learn more about this meaningful giving opportunity, email [email protected] or call (651) 221-9444.
Stocks/Mutual Funds Transfer
Gifts of securities are a great way to provide direct and immediate support while also providing tax advantages for you. By donating stock held longer than one year, you avoid capital gains while receiving full, fair-market value on the gift date.
Employer Match
Maximize your donation’s impact by having it matched by your employer. Contact your company’s benefits department to see if a matching gift program is available.
Gift In-Kind Donations
We welcome inquiries for in-kind donations that support our mission and enhance our collections. If you have an item you believe may be a good fit, please contact [email protected], and we’ll work with our scientists to evaluate your potential donation.
Volunteer
Volunteering plays a key role in creating a memorable experience at the museum — facilitating science activities, enhancing visitor experience, and caring for the museum’s land.
