Double Your Impact.

Every Gift Matched Through Year-End!

Since 1985, the Museum of Sonoma County (MSC) has been a place where our community learns, connects, and grows through the richness of art and history. Thanks to supporters like you, MSC has welcomed countless visitors and inspired many young minds.

As we approach our 40th anniversary, your gift can help create moments of transformation-moments like the one that changed a quiet fifth grader’s life forever.

During a recent school visit, a typically nonverbal boy listened intently to oral histories in our History Gallery. He explored the roots of his community alongside his classmates, building curiosity about the stories and voices that shape Sonoma County. In our Art Gallery, something extraordinary then happened.

As the class gathered around a large, colorful abstract painting, the boy raised his hand. In unpracticed English, carefully and thoughtfully, he began to speak. His classmates listened, discussed, and shared in the moment. For over half an hour, the boy was at the center of conversation, fully present and engaged.

These moments of connection and inspiration happen because of donors like you. (To read our full year-end appeal letter, click here.)

Let’s create more moments like this together. Thanks to a $20,000 matching gift from a group of dedicated supporters, every dollar you donate through December 31 will be doubled. Your gift today can help turn $20,000 into $40,000 to support experiences that transform lives.

Let’s make the most of this matching opportunity. Double your impact today!

Yes! I want to double my impact!

Help us meet this match and secure MSC’s future as a vibrant resource for our community.
