Science is more than a subject. It’s a factor that’s alive in everything we do.

From OMSI’s youngest visitors discovering nature from an animal’s point of view in Science Playground to the adults who overflow Science Pub hungry for discussion on today’s most pressing scientific topics, OMSI wants people toexperience the wonder of science and to know how it can be used to better our world.

This is a long-term mission, and it needs your long-term support.

Planned giving is one way that you can be partners in our mission. OMSI has packets available that detail how planned gifts such as bequests, charitable remainder trusts, life estate arrangements, and/or gifts from stocks and securities and tax-deferred retirement plans can support OMSI while also helping you meet your personal financial goals.

We appreciate you considering OMSI a public institution worthy of your ongoing support.

If you have questions or would like us to send a packet to you, please contact Foy Renfro by phone at 503.797.4574, or email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
