ANNUAL FUND

Your contribution to the Annual Fund advances WonderLab's mission and and is essential to the ongoing operation of the museum. WonderLab is not a tax-supported public institution. Without your support, WonderLab simply would not be able to provide the exhibits, programs and service that you expect and value.

There are now two ways to donate to WonderLab. To make a secure online donation, please click on the button below.

If you prefer, you may donate by printing, completing, and mailing the form below.

NAP TAX CREDITS 2007

WonderLab's current NAP tax credits have been distributed. Thank you!

WonderLab is pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2007, WonderLab has $23,700 in Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) tax credits available to distribute to donors who make unrestricted gifts of at least $100 to the museum.

NAP tax credits, valued at 50% of the value of the contribution made to WonderLab, are highly beneficial to you! For example, if you make a $500 donation now to WonderLab, you will receive a $250 tax credit on your 2007 Indiana state taxes, and you'll be able to claim a federal tax deduction on your donation as well.

NAP tax credits will be distributed on a first-come, first served basis, and we expect they will be fully distributed within a few weeks. If you are interested in making a NAP-eligible donation to WonderLab, please fill out and send both NAP forms with your check.

The fund is supported by grants and donations to the museum that are specified for this purpose. Donations may be designated for use by a particular agency. If you wish to donate to this fund, please designate the amount on the Annual Fund Donation Form.


PLANNED GIVING

You can help ensure that WonderLab remains a treasured community asset into the future with a planned gift. A planned gift can offer considerable tax advantages to you as you manage your financial affairs for the years ahead and at the same time express your commitment to future generations of young scientists. Such gifts can take many forms, including bequests, life insurance, charitable trusts and more. We are happy to work with you and your tax advisor to set up a planned gift.
