Offer students the opportunity to experience the Museum by donating to cover admission to the Museum Exhibits or Education Classes!
How It Works
- Donations are reserved for students needing financial assistance.
- Approved schools are scheduled on Field Trips to the Museum and receive sponsorship funds toward their invoices.
- On Field Trips, students may tour the Exhibits, attend a class, and/or sluice for gemstones at the Mining Co. & Sluice.
Your donation provides these opportunities for the next generation!
Over $780,000 donated by 50+ unique Donors!
We are so excited that you want to become part of the Cook Museum community of Donors!
Education Sponsorship donations of $50 or more will be recognized in the Museum’s Gratitude Report and will be recognized on the Education Sponsorship Wall for one year.
