Giving Tuesday 2027 – Thanks To You
November 8th, 2026
Hard work makes it happen and your donations keep us going!
Last year your donations helped us to repair our roof and replace our front door. Awesome!
This year we need your help to make the next step – repairing and repainting the siding. It’s a big job, but all of this is helping to reduce our operating costs.
We are hoping to raise $60,000 in this year’s Giving Tuesday campaign to help offset these costs.
Double Your Impact, Double Your Donation!
This year Giving Tuesday is on December 1st and “Early Giving” begins on Tuesday, November 17th. You can make your donation any time between Nov. 17th and December 1st.
Double Bonus! If you donate between Nov. 17th and December 1st your donation will be doubled (up to a total of $30,000).
Extra Bonus! If you wait and make your donation exactly on Giving Tuesday (Dec. 1st) your donation to the Museum will be eligible for additional gifts.
So, you can either mark your calendar and donate on the 1st or go to the Giving Tuesday site and donate any time between Nov. 17th and Dec. 1st. Either way, we appreciate your support!
Where Does The Money Go?
In addition to building maintenance, your donations also contribute to:
- Creating new exhibits
- Making Speaker Events possible
- Special activities like our Science Saturdays program
- Maintaining our existing exhibits
- Maintaining our heating and cooling equipment
- Supporting our outreach projects
- …and so much more!
Help us Get The Hard Work Done!
More About Mount Shasta Sisson Museum
This year we are celebrating 43 years of serving our community.
Admission to the museum is always free. We do not charge admission, because we want everyone to be able to experience our fun, interesting museum. We pride ourselves on making all of our visitors – tourists and residents alike – feel welcome and included.
We are an involved, aware, and vital part of the community and our museum is a center for learning. We continue to expand our understanding of the area by broadening our research, addressing timely issues, and increasing our knowledge of all cultures.
We host monthly presentations about important topics and install new displays yearly. This last year, we hosted 8 Family Fun Days, which have proven to be very informative and fun for all.
Last year, your donations helped to repair the roof on our 1910 historic fish hatchery building. The job included replacing the old roof insulation with a higher level of protection from heat and cold along with repairing a few holes. It was a big project, and we have already noticed an improvement in our energy costs. New screws in our metal roof should prevent future leaks from rain and snow.
We have also replaced our front door. The new door is ADA compliant and very easy to open.
And that’s not all! In partnership with the Audubon Society, we are installing a native plant pollinator garden. We hope to be seeing our local butterflies stopping by for a bit of nectar.
There’s a lot going on, so why not stop by and see what’s new.
