Annual Fund

Make a donation to support Squam Lakes Natural Science Center using the link below, or print and mail your annual fund donation.

We hope you find Squam Lakes Natural Science Center to be an important resource that stimulates and educates; that provides value to the community, and enhances the region. Please support the Annual Fund at whatever amount you can afford to give. No gift is too small . . . or too large!

For every child who experiences an up-close nature moment (like 2-year old Sophie getting eye to eye with a dragonfly), for the moms and dads who count on a fun learning place to spend family time, for the volunteers who share their time to teach others, for the good feeling of knowing your gift can make a difference, please be as generous as you can.

You can also make a recurring gift to the Annual Fund. This is a way for you to make a larger gift, spread throughout the year through monthly or quarterly donations. It is convenient for you and provides dependable support for the Science Center. Your donation will be billed to your credit card and automatically renew each year. Once a year, we will send you a record of your giving history for tax purposes and give you an opportunity to update your pledge amount and account information. Of course, you can change or cancel your payments at any time although there is a minimum donation of $10 per donation and a 30-day notice to cancel your authorization. Recurring credit card deductions are a simple way to make a stretch gift to the Annual Fund that feels easy. Fill out this form once and we will do the rest. You can choose monthly or quarterly tax-deductible contributions to support general operations.

The IRS and the State of New Hampshire recognize the Science Center as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. Our federal tax identification number is 02-0271824.
