Your support matters!
Given the cuts to federal and state funding, we need donations now more than ever. Please consider supporting our work to ensure that every kid has the opportunity to discover the creative inventor inside themselves!
Give NowâSince moving to Gainesville, the Cade Museum has been one of my absolute favorite places to explore with my kids! As someone deeply passionate about education, science, and technology, I couldnât have asked for a better place to spark curiosity and create meaningful experiences together.
One day, my colleagues at UF and I dreamed of collaborating with the museum on an educational initiative. We reached out, not knowing what to expectâbut the Cade team blew us away with their warmth, passion, and incredible vision. They welcomed us with open arms, bringing creativity and innovation to every step of the journey. I am beyond grateful for their enthusiasm, their commitment to making a difference, and their willingness to dive deep into our projects.”
