Big Day of Giving 2024

May 2, 2024

Early giving is now open!

Help us reach our goal during Big Day of Giving, the annual community-wide fundraiser for Sacramento-region nonprofits.

As a nonprofit 501(c)3, the California Museum relies on the community’s generosity to maintain our exceptional exhibits and programming.

Big Day of Giving donations begin at $10 and take just a few minutes to make. Early giving is now open, and donations are accepted through midnight on May 2.

Your donation on the Big Day of Giving will assist in:

• Providing scholarships for students in Title I schools to participate in virtual and in-person field trip programs.
• Offering low-cost museum admission to those receiving food assistance through the Museums for All low-income access program.
• Supporting upcoming temporary exhibits “America at the Crossroads: The Guitar and a Changing Nation,” exploring America’s evolution through its beloved instrument, and “Pleibol! In the Barrios & the Big Leagues,” a Smithsonian exhibit on Latinos/as’ contributions to baseball.
• Expanding the interactive kiosk content in “Women Inspire” to showcase more influential California women.

If we meet our $20,000 fundraising target on May 2, 2024, we’ll host a free admission day in 2024, alongside pursuing our outlined objectives. If you donate using a Golden 1 Credit Union debit or credit card, your gift will be proportionately matched by Golden 1 Credit Union. Join us in preserving and celebrating California’s vibrant heritage!
