Your Support Makes a Difference

Established in 1874, the San Diego Natural History Museum is one of California’s oldest and most respected cultural and scientific institutions. Help us to fulfill our mission in the coming year. Here are some ways you can contribute:

Annual Fund

Donations to the Annual Fund are absolutely essential—Annual Fund gifts keep the lights on and the doors open. It also assists with a wide range of ongoing activities, from delivering nature-education to schoolchildren to supporting groundbreaking research that is advancing scientific discovery.
Give today.

Gifts in Honor or in Memory

Make a tribute gift in memory of someone special or celebrate a special occasion. Your contribution will be acknowledged with a gift card informing the family or friend you designate.

Corporate Giving

The core of Natural Partners supports our Museum Access Fund, but corporate and business members can also direct gifts to sponsor exciting new exhibitions and programs that inspire in all a respect for nature and the environment.

Planned Giving

Help ensure that the Museum remains a source of lifelong learning and discovery for generations to come! Planned gifts include bequests through your will or trust, gifts of real estate, life insurance or other assets.  Learn more.
