The gift is having immediate impact, according to Lisa Abia-Smith, the museum’s director of educational outreach.

“This important gift already has helped more than 700 children participate free of charge,” Abia-Smith said. The endowment also provides funding for bus subsidies, making it possible for schools from small rural communities to send classes for museum field trips and special activities.
