Charitable Donation Requests
For nonprofits interested in a donation FROM the museum
As a nonprofit, the Bell Museum recognizes the importance of fundraising strategies like charitable donations in order to support community organizations and schools.
Due to the large number of requests we receive annually as well as our own budgetary constraints, we have instituted a mission-based, intentional approach to donations. The museum’s charitable giving is focused on organizations that are closely aligned with our environmental and scientific mission as well as schools or educational groups.
Donation Requests
To request a donation, please send an email to bellinfo@umn.edu.
Please note: our standard donation is a four-pack of Bell Museum combo tickets—each covers one general admission pass and one planetarium ticket (planetarium tickets are subject to availability).
If you would like to inquire about making a donation of specimens or other objects TO the museum, please contact Jennifer Menken at menke004@umn.edu.
