HOW TO
DONATE TO THE STEINBECK CENTER
We
welcome your investment in the National Steinbeck Center! There
are many ways to show your support. Individual donors can designate
their annual gift earmarked for certain programs. Annual areas of
support include:
Education
Exhibits
Steinbeck Festival
KidsArt
Day of the Dead
Endowment
Education
A museum is simply a vault serving as a repository for fine art
artifacts without the educational programs that enriches one’s
understanding of their history and significance. A donor can underwrite
a public program, a school group, an artist visiting a school, a
Steinbeck Alive performer in the schools…the list is endless
and the need is great. The museum is able to match one’s giving
interest at a variety of levels to an appropriate educational program.
Please call or write the development office for more details. 831-796-3833
x 203, or email development@steinbeck.org.

Day
of the Dead
This October celebration is a uniquely Indo-Hispanic custom that demonstrates
a strong sense of love and respect for one’s ancestors; celebrates
the continuance of life, family relationships, and community solidarity.
This positive celebration gives rise to a street procession, masks,
costumes, traditional foods and most importantly, community altars.
Sponsorship opportunities range in price from $65 (art supplies for
one class) to $8,800 to underwrite the entire program. The following
areas are sponsorship opportunities businesses and individuals can
invest in. Appropriate public recognition is given for each sponsor.
