Explorium Donors

While Explorium receives funding from admissions and from the generous support of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, the quality of its programs and interactive displays is dependent on your financial support.  Individual, corporate and foundation gifts have made up a sizable portion of the annual operating budget in past years.  In fact, almost every improvement and new interactive exhibit is made possible entirely by donated funds and expertise.

Explorium of Lexington is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so your contributions are tax deductible.  Donations at certain levels also carry other benefits, detailed below.  For more information about giving by credit card, stock donations, or through your will or estate, please contact Lee Ellen Martin, Interim Executive Director, at (859) 258-3253 x 15, or at executive@explorium.com
