Due to the pandemic, we are not currently fulfilling donation requests. We look forward to resuming this program in the future. Please check back here for updates. 

The Carle receives many requests for donations to support worthy causes. We focus our efforts on non-profit organizations in Hampshire, Hampden, and Franklin counties of Massachusetts. To manage these requests, we have set the following guidelines:

Donation Policy

2. Requests must be submitted at least two months prior to the event date.
3. The Carle can only fulfill requests that can be picked up during regular Museum hours. We cannot mail donations, and cannot accept SASEs.
