How You Can Help
The WOW Science Museum still has a way to go. We need help from every part of the community to bring the vision to a reality.
The World of Wonders Science Museum is funded primarily by individual, corporate and foundation support. Your contributions are crucial for us to be able to offer hands-on science-based exhibits and programs to stimulate discovery for all ages. The museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and your donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.
Cash Donations
We gratefully accept one-time donations of cash (by check or credit card). You can also become a sustaining supporter of the museum with a monthly, quarterly or annual donation. We also accept stock donations.

Corporate Partners
Your company can make a difference for children, families and teachers in our community. The museum will provide a customized benefit package tailored to meet your business objectives. We can work with you to provide exclusive opportunities for your employees and/or clients. Whether you would like to sponsor an exhibit, underwrite an event or provide general support, call us at 209-327-6369 for more information.
Underwriting Construction
Your company can help underwrite a portion of tenant improvement costs by donating a CASH DONATION to the general construction fund or to a specific trade. Corporations can donate materials specific to their industry or commit to a portion of the materials in partnership with other like corporations and to compliment previous donors. Specific items may be purchased as a unique way to donate and be a part of the building for life. All donors will be recognized in the building for their generosity.
To help underwrite construction, please download Chatfield Construction's charitable contribution (PDF) form.
In-Kind Goods and Services
Construction supplies, office furniture and equipment, retail fixtures, and office and classroom supplies are just a few examples of items needed to help us launch our programs and fulfill our mission.
Volunteering
