Building a new museum is a big and exciting undertaking. As of November 2011, we've raised $23.3 million of the over $26 million needed to build the new museum. You can help us keep that momentum going.

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.

When you support us, you're part of creating a place where everyone can learn about and enjoy science, history, culture, and nature; you help create opportunities for kids to be inspired to become future leaders in science and technology; and you're part of building a world-class attraction that will be an economic benefit to our community for many years to come.

support the digital dome: be a star!

The digital dome theater at the new museum will be a high-impact venue to explore astronomy, biology, paleontology, physics, earth and climate science, as well as natural and cultural history, music, art, and many other subjects.

The goal of the community "Be a Star" campaign is to raise $1,000,000 towards the funding of the digital dome theater. We are seeking 1,000 donations of $1,000 each, and are over half-way to our goal. More people are becoming "Stars" every day! Learn more about the dome here, and consider becoming a star yourself.
