Founders' Gifts Initiative
A new era of the California Science Center

The Founders’ Gifts Initiative is a $6 million fundraising effort uniting the Campaign and the Partners in Learning annual giving program. The Initiative has two goals: 1) to help complete the $165 million Campaign and 2) to grow the Partners in Learning annual giving program to $1 million per year.

Campaign gifts provide funding to help complete Ecosystems, the largest component of Phase II of our Master Plan. Partners in Learning gifts provide much-needed support for our programs and exhibits and help ensure that general admission to the Science Center remains free-of-charge. Both are essential to realizing the vision of the California Science Center.

By contributing to the Founders’ Gifts Initiative at one of the suggested giving levels, you will receive Partners in Learning benefits, as well as dual public recognition for your support of Partners in Learning and the Campaign.

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of the California Science Center. Join us as we usher in a new era of science learning! For more information about the Founders’ Gifts Initiative, please email us or call (213) 744-2288.
