Donation Requests

Seacoast Science Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and we strive to support other non-profits when possible. Due to the high volume of requests we receive, however, we must limit the number of contributions we make each year. Priority will be given to schools and education-based non-profits within a 50-mile radius of our location. Only one donation per year will be made to each beneficiary organization.

Our standard donation is a 4 guest passes to Seacoast Science Center, valued at up to $60. These are one-time-use passes that do not cover the required Odiorne Point State Park admission fee. The passes, along with instructions for us, will be mailed to the beneficiary organization at least 3 weeks in advance of their fundraising event.

Please review our donation guidelines before submitting your request.

  • In support of our eco-friendly policies, only online requests will be considered for a donation. No phone calls or mailed submissions, please.

It’s a good idea to reserve online, especially with rain forecasted, as rainy summer days often find us at capacity, particularly in the morning, with walk-ins depending on availability. Book tickets here
