How Can I Make My Gift?

How are Donors to the Exhibit Fund Recognized?
Recognition is given on a large sign at the entrance to each and every one of the exhibits mounted over the three-year period for all donors above the Crystal level. Donors will also receive recognition in select printed materials. Donors at all levels will be recognized on the NCSML website.
