Annual Fund

We Need You!
As the only museum of its kind in the Southwest, the Houston Museum of Natural Science offers visitors a unique experience that entertains as it enlightens, stimulates, and inspires.  The Annual Fund is a critical part of the financial engine that drives the innovative exhibits and educational programs that create this experience.

The Museum opens doors to new worlds with a wide variety of educational programs, ranging from exhibit-related lectures to school outreach.  For example, collaboration with Houston Independent School District brings students from all over the District into the museum, offering 4th and 7th graders a special opportunity to discover the wonders of nature.  Science Xploration Camps devote an entire day to hands-on learning and children become astronauts at the Challenger Learning Center.  Whether on-site or in the community, the Museum makes science come alive in the hearts and minds of all Houstonians.

Membership fees supply just a small percentage of actual operating costs, leaving contributions from the community necessary to cover a million dollar gap. We thank you for your continued membership and attendance, and thank you for your generosity.

Your donation to the Annual Fund today will indeed spark imaginations, inspire minds, and give knowledge.  Please consider a gift to the Houston Museum of Natural Science Annual Fund.
