Make Contact Campaign
Our challenge is to raise
funds to open the doors of the Minnesota Planetarium and Space
Discovery Center. In addition to the building- equipment, exhibits, and
furnishings are needed. Staff must be brought on board to turn the
vision into reality. These challenges are small compared to the
benefits of helping us all better understand the world around us. The
Make Contact campaign is essential to making this happen.
Donate
Science surrounds us all in
our daily lives. The Minnesota Planetarium and Space Discovery Center
will explore the universe we live in and inspire us for the future.
Invest in education and inspiration. Make a donation
to our Make Contact campaign today.
There are also opportunities for your families, memorial gifts, or corporations. For gifts over $1,000 to the campaign, you may become a part of our Aurora Circle. Learn more about the Aurora Circle and the exciting opportunities to enrich our community.
Sponsor the ExploraDome
You don’t have to wait for
the new planetarium to bring the heavens down to earth for our
fast-growing children. The Minnesota Planetarium Socity is offering
schools in the five state region access to earth and space science
learning through our ExploraDome
that serves over 16,000 students a year. A contribution of $2,000 a day
brings the ExploraDome to a school.
Interested in sponsoring the ExploraDome in a school or for another nonprofit group? You can help by making a donation for a school. Find out more details to sponsor a school.
