What is the Galileo Society?

This newly formed leadership giving circle brings together membership and philanthropic support into one group of donors & members! The Society celebrates donors at the $2,500 level and greater who are individually and collectively generating outcomes at the CSCA through the highest levels of annual support and is inclusive of an annual family membership that allows us to welcome them as often as they can come visit. 

As the cornerstone of our philanthropic community, Galileo Society members make it possible for us to respond to needs and changes at any given time through consistent, leadership-level charitable giving all while bringing their family to explore and learn throughout the year! We are incredibly grateful for investments at this leadership level allowing us to bring top-tier programming to our community year after year.
