Maria Mitchell Association

In addition to membership, special events receipts, program and admission fees, the Maria Mitchell Association relies upon your generous contributions to sustain its education and research activities. Your gifts help us to continue to serve our mission – “the promotion of the legacy of Maria Mitchell and exploration, education and enjoyment of Nantucket’s land, waters and skies beyond.”

There are many ways to give to MMA. You can become a member. You can also make an online donation. Please consider the MMA in your estate plans with a bequest; a gift of stock, mutual funds, securities, IRAs or other retirement plans; or with a gift of cash, a gift-in-kind, or a matching gift from your business/employer. You may choose to support a specific program or department or give an unrestricted gift which can be directed to where it is most needed.

We are happy to discuss the options with you. Simply contact us at (508) 228-9198. The Maria Mitchell Association relies on gifts of time and talent from volunteers. Our small but dedicated staff needs help with many projects across all departments, ranging from assisting with scallop research to preparing mailings. Please contact info@mmo.org with your area(s) of interest and desired time commitment.
