Our Mission at the Putnam
The Putnam Museum and Science Center exists to
preserve, educate and connect people
to the wonders of science, culture and history.
There are many ways to help support our mission to preserve, educate, and connect!

Contributions to the Community Access Fund help to ensure that ALL children have access to the Putnam—regardless of their financial status.
Memberships support the Putnam’s operations while providing you with special access and perks to the museum, events, store, and special exhibits.
John Deere Classic – Birdies for Charity offers additional monetary support when you pledge a donation for your chosen charity.
Businesses can help bring unique exhibitions, films, and programs to life while giving their business and employees special benefits.
The Putnam Museum Guild is dedicated to supporting the mission through fundraising, volunteering, and promotion.
The Putnam Power Circle is an exclusive community of individuals and organizations who play a pivotal role in advancing our impact by pledging a minimum of $1,000 annually.
