How does an investment in AMOS provide an investment for our present and our future?
One child’s visit
Our cost for one child’s admission to the museum comes to $20; however, we only charge $7 per child, per visit. A 65% value of every child’s visit is subsidized and/or supported by donor revenue.
Summer or Winter Camp Series
A $60 donation can pay for a scholarship to our STEM Camp. Help a family in need send their child to our educational camp program!
After-School Programming
A $100 donation pays for one session of After School programming, including supplies and educator time.
Educational Supplies
A donation of $250 helps pay for supplies for our innovative science classes (for preschool through 8th-grade level students).
Class Field Trip
A $500 sponsorship provides the cost for one classroom for a field trip to the museum!
In School Science Learning
A $2,000 sponsorship provides our cost to send educators to visit schools for a week of in-school, hands-on science learning.
New Exhibits
A donation of $10,000 or more would help develop new programs and new, up-to-date exhibits. We are working to raise money now for new weather and climate exhibit.
Expanding In School Education
Our goal of $100,000 is to expand our in-school education program to the entire WNC region. This will cover the cost of two educators, supplies, and give AMOS the ability to expand its footprint.
