Where Donations Go

Preserving Our Collection

Storage space, security systems, spare electronic parts, and modern hardware stopgaps help us keep the history of digital entertainment ready to present to our visitors and online audiences.

Supporting Our Staff

Our friendly front desk staff help make sure all our visitors are having the best possible experience. Additionally, we pay some of our most active community members to ensure they can give the museum the time it deserves.

Improving Our Space

We have over 20 playable exhibits on the floor of the museum at all times, but we're already looking to present new exhibits on the history of digital entertainment and making our space as engaging as possible.

Donate Money

Buying a membership is the easiest way to support us! You can also join our Patreon or donate via credit card on PayPal.

Looking for a tax-advantaged way to donate? We accept donations through donor-advised fund and provide tax receipts for larger monetary donations. Reach out to us with any questions!

After we inventory your donation, we'll send your receipt to your provided email.
