WAYS TO DONATE
Foundation and Government Support
CuriOdyssey is a nonprofit science playground and zoo, dedicated to giving children the power of real science through hands-on exhibits, up-close animal encounters and innovative programs.
Our goal is to teach essential science to young children through interactive, inquiry-based STEM education experiences that teach them to observe, experiment and think like scientists, giving them tools to take on future real-world challenges.
We invite you to partner with us in offering solutions to shortfalls in STEM education and revolutionizing science learning for children. Your contributions help us create innovative exhibits and programming that reach 190,000 visitors each year from all over the Bay Area and help us build the next generation of critical thinkers and problem solvers.
We depend upon the support of foundations that recognize that early STEM education is key to improving educational outcomes for children. This allows us to meet the costs of running our museum, offer free and discounted admissions to families and groups, work with local schools to improve STEM education and much more.
We also rely on the support of local government. CuriOdyssey has had a longstanding, mutually beneficial partnership with San Mateo County, formalized through a 30-year lease agreement and co-ownership of our building. We actively promote CuriOdyssey at Coyote Point through membership, social media and billboards, cross-promote all Coyote Point Park events, and co-sponsor park improvement projects with park rangers. We partner with the County on important initiatives such as the Big Lift and by offering free access during the summer for those who enroll at the library.
