Support the MOST
A lot goes into making a science museum work.
Every day, visitors walk through our doors to explore exhibits, experience science firsthand, and discover something new. What they don’t see is everything happening behind the scenes to make those experiences possible — and that is where your support makes an enormous difference.
Gifts to the MOST Foundation fund three essential areas of our work:
- Keeping our exhibits working — and the science current. Hands-on exhibits get a lot of love, which also means a lot of wear and tear.
- Making STEM education accessible to more students. All of our STEM education resources are FREE.
- Caring for the Armory. Our historic building is one thing that makes the MOST special — but maintaining a building of this age and size is a significant responsibility for a small museum.
At the MOST, we do a lot with a little.
We are careful with our resources, creative in how we use them, and committed to making every dollar count. That means a gift of any size truly matters.
Every dollar helps. Every contribution matters.
Please consider a gift to the MOST Foundation today. Together, we can keep the MOST strong, accessible, and inspiring for the thousands of people who learn, explore, & discover here each year.
Thank you for believing in the MOST and in the work we do.
With gratitude,
Lauren Kochian
