Double Your Impact. Inspire the Next Generation.

Right now, you have the opportunity to make twice the impact.

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, every gift made to the San Diego Air & Space Museum through December 31, 2026 will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $100,000, through the “I’m Possible” Matching Gift Challenge.

Your contribution will immediately be doubled, providing critical support for the Museum’s educational programs, world-class exhibits, restoration projects, and daily operations.

Be the reason “I’m Possible” becomes reality.

Why Your Support Matters

The Museum continues to face significant financial challenges, including:

• The impact of paid parking in Balboa Park on guest attendance
• An approximately $82,000 reduction in the City-funded OSP grant compared with last year
• Rising operating and program expenses

The “I’m Possible” Matching Gift Challenge provides essential operating support during this time while maximizing the value of every donation. Every dollar you give helps ensure the Museum remains a place where innovation, discovery, and aviation history inspire future generations.

Support the Mission

Proceeds from the International Air & Space Hall of Fame Celebration, along with gifts made through the “I’m Possible” Matching Gift Challenge, help support the Museum’s mission and its nationally recognized youth education programs.

Through hands-on experiences, educational programming, and inspiring exhibits, the Museum encourages young people to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

As Museum President & CEO Jim Kidrick has said:

“Inspiring kids to undertake tough science and engineering challenges is a critical first step for our future. We must also give them the resources and impetus they need to pursue science education degrees.”

Your generosity helps provide those opportunities for thousands of students each year.

Make Twice the Difference

Every donation made by December 31, 2026, up to the $100,000 campaign goal, will be matched dollar for dollar.
