Through the financial support we receive from fundraising events, the Milwaukee Public Museum continues to inspire curiosity, excite minds, and increase the desire to preserve and protect our world’s natural and cultural diversity through exhibitions, educational programs, collections, and research.
MPM Giving Day
Giving Day is MPM's largest single-day fundraiser, made possible by the generosity of our community. On Giving Day, your support goes twice as far. Every donation is MATCHED dollar for dollar and gives you the chance to win exclusive, one-of-a-kind experiences.
Food & Froth
This beloved annual fundraiser invites guests to an after-hours party at the Museum to sample brews and bites from dozens of local restaurants and breweries. Ticket sales support MPM’s educational programming, community outreach, research efforts, and world-class exhibits.
Food & Froth returns Saturday, February 21, 2026.
Annual Gala
Our 38th annual gala, “Metamorphosis: Flight to our Future,” celebrated MPM’s legacy as we transform into an institution that sets a new standard for 21st-century natural history museums.
