Become a PacSci Igniter

By joining PacSci’s donor society, you can inspire the next generation of scientists, explorers, and innovators in our community. PacSci Igniter gifts can also be made in monthly installments.

Donors of $500 or more may also be eligible for complimentary membership benefits.

Corporate Sponsorship

Generous support from local, regional, and national corporations is essential to PacSci’s efforts to inspire the next generation of science and technology thinkers. Sponsorships provide visibility at high-profile events and unique client experiences. Corporate Membership offers companies of all sizes the opportunity to give their employees access to everything PacSci has to offer, while making a real impact in STEM education.

Other Ways to Give

Leave a Legacy with a Planned Gift	Support PacSci with no impact to your current financial security. Leave a lasting legacy for your family and the community, representing a permanent statement of your values. Specific options include gifts in will or trust, beneficiary designations, and other ways to benefit family and charity.
Donor Advised Funds	Donor Advised Funds (DAF) provides flexibility in supporting your favorite causes with favorable tax benefits. DAF may have prohibitions against certain types of donor benefits.
IRA Charitable Rollover	Individuals 70 and older can donate up to $100,000 directly from an IRA, without treating the distribution as taxable income. In order to qualify, contributions must go directly to a public charity and be made from traditional IRAs or Roth IRAs.
Stock Donations	With careful planning, you can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains tax while supporting our work. Contact Development with information about the type of stock you’re giving and number of shares, as well as any special considerations you may have. Download the form.
Memorial & Honorary Gifts	Pay tribute to your loved ones with a memorial or honorary gift. Contact (206) 443-2878, and we will notify the honoree or their family of your gift.
