Bright futures start here.

Your support enables us to grow.

For over 15 years, ExplorationWorks has been igniting curiosity and bringing high quality STEM education to our community. We cannot do it alone. As a small, independent non-profit business with no parent organization that provides us with funding to remain operational, our donors are crucial to our success and growth.

Monthly donors will be featured on our Lab Partners wall at ExplorationWorks! Both one-time donors and monthly donors will be listed in our Annual Report. Please let us know if you would like to remain anonymous.

Inspire future scientists and critical thinkers to change our world!

Corporate Giving

Everyday ExplorationWorks inspires kids and their families to discover, explore and develop a lifelong love for science. We also bring inquiry-based science education to schools and community events in our three-county area and beyond. Our programs and exhibits are made possible through the generous support of our community. We can’t accomplish all we do without you. Please help us inspire Montana’s next generation of great minds and great discoveries.

Partnership and sponsorship opportunities are available throughout the year. Please consider sponsoring:

  • Summer Camps

  • Afterschool Classes

  • Early Explorers Preschool Programs

  • Annual Nightmare Affair Fundraiser
