New museum building, architect's rendering

We’ve made significant progress in the campaign to build the new Fort Collins Discovery Museum, and we’re excited about the cultural and economic impact this new museum will have in northern Colorado. We have come a long way!

We are grateful for the support of so many generous donors and friends who have enriched our past, continue to make a difference is the present, and create extraordinary learning opportunities for future generations. If you haven't already, we hope you will join us.

Did you know? We are an Enterprise Zone Project, which permits a 25% tax credit, with an annual credit limit of $100,000, for Colorado taxpayers who make cash contributions to the Fort Collins Museum & Discovery Science Center. Your gift can benefit your family and your tax dollars! You can find out more about the Enterprise Zone tax credit here.
