Your gift makes a difference

The KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum relies on your support to fund its programs, events, exhibits and graduate education. Donors help us offer programs for families and education workshops for 3,000 school children each year. Donor gifts also help us continue to preserve and grow our collections of 10 million animal, fungi, plant and fossil specimens, and 2 million archaeological artifacts. Every gift, no matter what size, makes a difference. Your gift of $60 or more also qualifies you for an individual or household museum membership, if you choose.
