How to Donate
Thank you for considering a donation to the
Valley of the Moon Observatory Association!
If you've visited the Robert Ferguson Observatory or explored our web site, you know that we have a variety of offerings that suit all members of the family. We are especially delighted to try to inspire youngsters to learn more about their place in the Universe and their own local Solar System.
Your donation will go toward keeping our doors open on a day-to-day basis, paying for utilities, presentation materials, and the costs of running our programs. Every bit helps, so don't be shy! Remember that your entire donation is tax deductible!
If you would like your donation to be applied toward a specific project, you can choose between:
A
dedicated Solar Telescope that we will put into use to honor long-time RFO Solar Observer, Merlin Combs;
or the construction of a
new 40-inch reflector telescope to be installed
in the West wing in 2012
(Project 40).
Please enter some basic information for us below. We'll use this information to keep you informed about events at the Robert Ferguson Observatory. Check the box below if it is OK for us to contact you in the future. We will not share your contact information with any other organization.
If you prefer to send your donation by mail, use the mailing address in the sidebar to your right.
Once you've completed the form, including the amount you wish to donate click the 'Confirm' button and you will get a chance to confirm the amount and then to the secure payment page where we will take your name, address, email and credit card information. When you've successfully entered payment info and submitted it, you will see a receipt page and you will get an email summarizing this transaction.
