IT'S OFFICIAL - WE ARE OPENING MARCH 2025!
Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University gratefully accepts philanthropy and the confidence it represents in our shared vision to be a global icon of awe-inspiring discovery, hope and action for good. Giving to EFM provides valuable resources to advance our mission in meaningful ways. The real and tangible difference made by donors can be seen throughout the Fossil Park, in our immersive museum exhibits, and within our interactive experiences.
All charitable giving to the Edelman Fossil Park is accepted by the Rowan University Foundation with 100% of your donation directed to EFM. The Rowan University Foundation oversees and coordinates all fundraising activities and is responsible for the management, investment, and distribution of all charitable contributions to benefit the University, including the Fossil Park. As the independent, officially designated non-profit organization of philanthropic support to the institution, the Foundation is the only vehicle through which charitable gifts may be made to Edelman Fossil Park. To learn more about the Rowan University Foundation, visit www.rowan.edu/advancement.
We gladly accept checks by mail for your donation to support Edelman Fossil Park & Museum. Note: This is the mailing address for charitable donations NOT the museum’s street address.
The Awe, Hope and Action (AHA) Society consists of a group of dedicated supporters who, through their annual generous giving, inspire and engage the community by advancing EFM’s mission. Donors who give cumulative annual gifts of at least $1,500 are included in the Society. The impact made by Society donors can be seen on the faces of adults and children alike who visit EFM and encounter that “AHA!” moment when they first feel the power of discovering the past and are inspired to protect the future.
The AHA Society brings together philanthropy and membership benefits to create a unique, personalized engagement experience. Society members receive exclusive membership benefits, special invitations and access to behind-the-scenes opportunities throughout the year which highlight EFM’s mission.
Designed to inspire and engage, Corporate Membership offers businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and community groups the opportunity to elevate their social responsibility, client relations, and employee engagement initiatives while helping to advance EFM’s mission.
Corporate Members enjoy benefits such as family memberships, admission tickets, premier experience vouchers, discounts, curated private tours led by knowledgeable guides, invitations to exclusive events, behind-the-scenes experiences, special recognition and more. Corporate Membership levels start as low as $2,500 annually and include a tax-deductible gift in support of EFM.
EFM is committed to creating a Corporate Membership package that fits your budget. If you wish to discuss the options, or modify a level to fit your specific needs, please contact Nick Sena, Director of Community Development and Partnerships, at nick@efm.org.
