We have a family-friendly museum and a nature site in Davis. What’s more, we take science programs on the road to schools and community sites in 18 counties. The center offers everyone the chance to “Think it… Try it… Explorit.”

Support Explorit on BDOG - Donate Today!

Thursday, May 7, is the last day of the Big Day of Giving event this year.

Please donate anytime today until midnight to help Explorit Science Center achieve, and hopefully surpass, our 2026 BDOG fundraiser goal of $10,000.

Any amount that you donate will be greatly appreciated and will expedite the reopening of Explorit as a hands-on STEAM community hub.

Your support is crucial in helping us fulfill Explorit's mission to inspire curiosity in science and nature within our community.

Today, your BDOG donation can go even further thanks to prize boosts and match funds like the Explorit Board of Trustees $2,500 match challenge.

Also, BDOG donation made today using your Golden 1 Credit Union credit or debit card will be proportionately matched by the credit union.

Every dollar counts! Please donate to Explorit today at the following link: https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/give/Explorit

Thank you in advance for your generosity and your ongoing support.

And a big thank you to all the wonderful 'early-bird' BDOG donors.

Also, a big shout-out to the STEAM team at Woods Rodgers, a Sacramento-based Civil Engineering firm, for their 2026 BDOG donation to Explorit.
