Your Requests

As an independent nonprofit organization, the Da Vinci Science Center Center relies on its admission revenue to support its operations. However, thanks to the generosity of its donors, corporate partners, and foundations, the Center is proud to offer support to community organizations and schools each year through donated passes for fundraising purposes.

Priority is given to educational organizations which align with the Center’s mission and operate in its 14-county primary service area. The standard donation is four one-day admission passes to the Center. The passes are valid for one calendar year and have no cash value. Organizations are limited to one (1) donation request per calendar year. Please see the guidelines below to determine if your organization is eligible for a donation request. Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee a donation.
