The ExtraGive is a celebration inspiring individual donations and shining a light on the work of our community benefit sector. This unique day highlights organizations that support causes from children and families, to health and education, the natural environment and farmland preservation; from poverty alleviation and affordable housing to arts, culture, heritage, history and more.

Thank you for your generous donation to the North Museum of Nature & Science during the 2024 ExtraGive. Thanks to you, we were able to raise $13,800 to help us provide accessible, high-quality STEM education to young people in our community. Because of your contribution, we can continue to inspire curiosity, nurture creativity, and ignite a passion for science in learners of all ages through our hands-on exhibits and activities, engaging programs and outreach initiatives.

Your commitment to advancing STEM education allows us to break down barriers for underserved populations, empowering the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators.

Friends share why they support the North Museum:

“As the mother of three children, I am always looking for new ways for my sons to be active. The North Museum is a safe, friendly environment that encourages my children to be hands-on with learning and to ask questions. It’s a wonderful resource that is fun for my whole family.”

– Cinthia M. Kettering, President of Operations, The Bagnall Shaw Company​

“I am a firm believer that students should have a wide range of experiences in education so they can grow to their full potential. The North Museum provides such experiences not just within collections, exhibits and a planetarium dome, but with outreach science programs such as the science fair.”

– Dr. Daniel G. Daneker, Subject Area Supervisor for Science and Technology Education, Conestoga Valley School District
