WAYS TO DONATE
Foundation and Government Support
CuriOdyssey is a 501c3 nonprofit science playground and zoo, dedicated to giving children the power of real science through hands-on exhibits, up-close animal encounters and innovative educational programs both at the museum and in the community.
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. Contributed support allows us to fund the costs associated with running our science museum and zoo, offer free and discounted admissions to families and groups, work with local schools to improve STEM education and so much more.
We also rely on the support of the local government. CuriOdyssey has had a longstanding, mutually beneficial partnership with San Mateo County, formalized through a 60-year lease agreement (through 2084) and co-ownership of our building.
