Your support matters! From providing education scholarships to making possible the next great scientific discoveries, your VMNH Annual Fund (formerly the VMNH Discovery Fund) contribution will help expand science education, research and exhibits throughout the Commonwealth and beyond during the coming year.

Your Tax-deductible Annual Fund Contribution Supports...

Immersive education programs
Through a combination of “at-the-museum”, outreach and virtual education programming, your support helps us reach students of all ages across the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond with exceptional learning opportunities.

Unique Science Festivals
Thanks to your Annual Fund support, the museum is able to offer its lineup of highly popular and engaging Science Festivals, which offer visitors themed experiences ranging from dinosaurs to reptiles to bugs, and draw thousands of visitors to the museum from across the region.

Globally significant research
Thanks to you, VMNH scientists and colleagues continue to make new scientific discoveries, publish the results of groundbreaking research, and reach lifelong learners across the Commonwealth and beyond.

Exhibits at the museum and at sites statewide and beyond
With your help, new displays and exhibits continue to open at VMNH, with traveling exhibits on display in Ohio, South Carolina and North Carolina.

Your support will inspire the students of today who may become the scientists and leaders of tomorrow. To learn more about how you can support VMNH, please contact us today.
