The Science Museum of Minnesota actively supports other non-profit groups through donations of tickets to qualified organizations for fundraising. Because of the number of requests for donations, we are not able to honor every request. Please look at the guidelines below to determine if your organization is eligible, and note the instructions on how to request donations.

We DO donate tickets to:

• Church groups
• Schools
• Community organizations
• National non-profit organizations

We are UNABLE to donate for:

• For-profit organizations
• Second generation requests (for-profit organizations or individuals raising money for another group; example: corporate United Way auctions)

Tickets typically include admission to the standard museum exhibits and the Omnitheater. Special exhibitions, reservation fees, parking and other fees are not included. We will make one ticket donation per calendar year per organization.

How to request a donation

To be considered for a donation we must receive a letter on the organization's letterhead or a flyer for the event that includes the name of the organization, their contact, and the date and purpose of the event.

We must receive the request at least three weeks prior to the date of the event. Because of the volume of requests, we are unable to answer inquiries about requests by phone; we will mail tickets to eligible organizations within two weeks or will mail a letter if we are unable to help.
