Donate to the Santa Maria Expansion

We’re excited about the Museum’s expansion to the Santa Maria Airport. Phase One has broken ground, but we need your support.

Our goal is to raise $12 million for Phase One of this project. With the help of our leadership donors, we have raised $7.5 million. You can make an immediate impact with your tax-deductible donation of any amount by following the link below.
