What do Annual Fund Dollars Do?

(SciencenterNews, Spring 2005)

Annual Fund Dollars

• Are put to work immediately to improve museum offerings
• Help to keep the Sciencenter fresh and exciting by providing resources to develop new exhibits
• Provide critical resources that let the Sciencenter expand beyond the walls of the museum through afterschool programs and special community events
• Are an important source of income that helps us meet our budget and cover the costs of running the museum
• Help to fund things visitors don't see, but that are very important - staff salaries; maintenance of the building, grounds and exhibits; planning and program development; fundraising and museum promotion
