Membership donations
As a proud member of Pittsburgh’s generous nonprofit community, Carnegie Museums is pleased to support other local nonprofits in their fundraising efforts with complimentary Family-level membership donations.
While we aim to fulfill as many requests as possible, due to a large number of requests, we must limit the number of our annual donations. If we are unable to help you with your fundraising efforts, we encourage you to contact each of the four Carnegie museums directly to inquire about ticket donations.
Due to the overwhelming volume of requests received by Carnegie Museums, notice will only be sent to approved applicants.
