The Science Museum of Virginia Foundation’s annual fund is a pool of unrestricted funds from individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations that supports the museum’s general operating budget. Annual fund gifts are especially important because they support the ongoing operational needs of the museum. This year the need is even greater as we work to manage elimination of any more science education programs so vital to our schools and to the museum’s mission. Gifts to the Annual Giving Campaign are entirely separate from membership dues and are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
