Join us on Giving Day to DOUBLE your impact at MPM!
Why donate on Giving Day?
Giving Day is MPM's largest single-day fundraiser, made possible by the generosity of our community. Gifts made on Giving Day will be matched up to $300,000 by friends of the Museum, doubling the impact of each donation.
Your gift supports the experiences happening right here, right now. Each Giving Day donation helps fuel MPM’s epic final year in the current building, filled with unmatched visitor experiences, impactful education programs, and important research.
