About Us

Why Donate to Museums?

Did you know that almost all U.S. museums are non-profits? And unlike libraries and schools, museums receive no government funding. Or if they do, it is usually not enough to cover the organization’s operating expenses. Yet museums serve as a backbone to our communities, providing millions of hours of education, community service and cultural enjoyment to all ages and income levels.

Behind the scenes, most museums and organizations like zoos, aquariums, historical societies, science centers and parks are struggling to keep their doors open. In recent years, many museums have closed for good, and with it, we’ve lost those vital community resources for future generations.

It’s time to take a stand. We invite you to help us help them---in the simplest of ways- on a daily basis as you shop online! Please join us and our over 1,300 online retailers in making a difference. It’s free to participate! Just remember to start each shopping trip at ShopforMuseums.com and then we’ll do the rest. Thank you! And remember, Museums Empower Our Future…You Can Empower Museums!
