DONATION REQUEST POLICIES
Thank you for your interest in the Metal Museum. As a 501 (c)(3) organization, the Metal Museum understands the importance of donations to support the work of schools, community groups and non-profit organizations. Please carefully read the donation guidelines and submission instructions below. The following guidelines have been developed to create consistency and fairness to organizations that seek support. Regrettably, we cannot honor every donation request.
​
DONATION GUIDELINES
-
Requests should be submitted at least five weeks prior to the event date. Requests that are submitted any later will not be considered.

Political, religious, for-profits and causes outside our focus areas will NOT be considered.
-
The Metal Museum is unable to make cash gifts to organizations. No exceptions.

Only one request per organization per fiscal year (July - June) will be considered.

Submitting a request is not a guarantee the Museum will make a donation.

Accepting a request for one year does not guarantee future requests will be fulfilled.
