Donate
More than 20,000 people visit the Museum of Visual Materials each year. Many of our visitors are children and families who enjoy our free and low cost activities. The Museum is a private 501(c)3 nonprofit, and your donation will help us provide a creative and inspirational space for our community to learn, play, create, and celebrate.
We accept craft item donations, listed under our Needed Craft Items section to the right (or below on mobile) and monetary donations to help us purchase craft items and keep our activities fresh and engaging. You can donate online by clicking the button(s) below or you can find a printable Donation Form here.
