The future of The Brown is taking shape -
and you can be part of it.
Be Part of Building Something Extraordinary
The Crown Jewel Campaign is more than a building project. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine what a museum can be for the people of Central Florida and for the many who travel here seeking discovery, inspiration, and connection.
With your support, we will:
-
Create an iconic, world-class cultural destination
-
Redefine how art, science, and history are experienced—on one unified campus
-
Expand educational impact for families, students, and lifelong learners
-
Provide a lasting resource for our region’s economic and cultural vitality
Every gift matters. Every contribution moves us forward.
And thanks to a generous matching challenge, your donation will be tripled—matched 3-to-1, up to $25 million. It’s an extraordinary chance to amplify your impact and help shape the legacy of The Brown for generations to come.
Whether you choose to give in your name, in honor of a loved one, or through one of our available naming opportunities, your support becomes part of the story we're building together.
To learn more about how you can make a lasting difference, contact us today. We’d love to talk with you about the meaningful ways your support can help bring this vision to life.
