We are presently evaluating a number of locations within Palm
Beach County for the establishment of our permanent museum facility.
Such a location should offer a close proximity to educational
institutions and offer a variety of cultural attractions and
amenities that will enhance public support and serve attract
visitors. The museum itself would be a significant addition
to any community redevelopment effort. Please contact us if
you would like to discuss our plans and requirements or if you
have a site that you would like to offer for our consideration.
Remember, the museum is a non-profit entity and your assitance
may be tax deductable.
We
ask that anyone who may be interested in making a financial
contribution to the museum please contact our development manager.
The Palm Beach Museum of Natural History is a tax exempt 501
(c) (3) organization and contributions are tax deductable under
section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. We are also qualified
to receive tax deductable bequests, devices, transferes or gifts
under section 2055, 2106 or 2522 of the code.
We
are also seeking to expand the scope and variety of our collections.
If you would like to donate a collection or an individual artifact
or speciemen to the museum please contact Dr. Fred Cichocki,
Assistant Director of Science and Education, at fcichocki@pbmnh.org.
We would also be interested in discussing any items that you
would be interested in placing on loan with the museum. Such
loans may be of varying length and you may specify the terms
and conditions under which the museum may make use of your material.
A formal pledge of any donation or loan conditioned upon the
eventual location of the museum would be highly useful in planning
our space requirements and future exhibits. A pledge from you
would be a great way to help us establish and demonstrate the
community support needed to make the museum a success!
