Support the Adler
Annual Fund
What is the Annual Fund?
Annual Fund members share the excitement of space exploration with over 400,000 visitors and schoolchildren each year. The Adler's Annual Fund provides critical resources that support scientific discoveries, a world-famous Collection, and educational outreach.
We invite you to make a gift at any level to participate in the Lift-Off! Campaign for Chicago's Space Center. At the $150 level, you will be automatically eligible for Annual Fund membership levels. Thank you for helping to inspire the next generation of explorers.
To give to the Adler, contribute online.
