2022 Day of Giving

Discover, experience, and be inspired by all the 

de Saisset Museum has to offer!

We are thrilled to see SCU students and the public back in person at the de Saisset Museum this academic year, engaging directly with our collection and exhibitions. 

Arts and culture play an important role in the intellectual and creative lives of our students and the de Saisset Museum offers dynamic educational opportunities for students ranging from course connections to direct work experience. From artist lectures and panel discussions, to exhibition tours and course projects, to internships and employment the museum engages with hundreds of SCU students each quarter.

As a center of lifelong learning, the de Saisset Museum supports Santa Clara University's goal of educating the whole person through our collection of nearly 12,000 objects of art & history and our thought-provoking exhibitions & programs.

Contributions to the museum’s Discretionary Fund support student internships, programmatic developments, enhanced classroom connections, and our overall ability to support student learning. Donations to the Inouye Fund help support our exhibitions which provide connections to multiple disciplines and audiences. Gifts to the museum’s Endowment Fund help us build capacity.

And your support of the California History Fund enables us to continue to expand the exhibition California Stories and its related resources for SCU students and the greater community, including our California History Docent Program. 

Your financial support of the de Saisset Museum on this Day of Giving ensures we can continue deepening these connections to students’ learning and their overall student experience. 

Please join us in strengthening the de Saisset Museum as a space of discovery, experience, and inspiration.
