Ten to One Match for Colorado Computer Museum!

Update: Lots of exciting things have happened, thanks to your generous gifts! Please see our new 2023 fundraiser here.

Update: For 2022, we bought a building and have a new 5-to-1 match.

What's This About?

 

Colorado Computer Museum is here to create opportunities for the public to experience the history of information technology, including non-computer fields that have been transformed by digital technology (which is nearly everything).

 

We've never had a permanent home, but a major donation may be about to enable us to have a building to house our collection, exhibits, and workshop. Becoming building owners will create the additional financial challenge of supporting the operation and maintenance of the new facility.

 

The Opportunity

 

To this end, a long-time, trusted friend of the museum has proposed a matching grant: If we can raise $10,000 by the last day of 2021, we will receive an additional $100,000 to endow us with the ability to sustain the operation - that's a virtually unheard-of ten to one match!

 

The Goal

 

The match is all or nothing; if we don't reach $10,000, then there is no match. Therefore, our goal is to raise at least $10,000 by December 31. The funds you donate will be used for operational expenses, exhibit preparation, and any other purposes approved by the Board of Directors.

 

You Can Make a Difference!

 

This is an unprecedented opportunity to help make Colorado Computer Museum's collection accessible to the public. Will you help us reach our goal? Every dollar contributed makes a difference! We really appreciate any help you can give, either by donating or by passing this opportunity along to others you know. Colorado Computer Museum is a 501(c)(3) public charity, so donations are tax-deductible under Section 170 of the United States Internal Revenue Code.
