“I’ve been here for 23 years, and it’s just amazing to me how the support from the community has made my work possible. Many of you have been up on the 4th floor as part of Members’ Nights or other reasons, but many people do not know that the Field Museum produces its own exhibits, which is very unusual in the world of museums. Thank you for choosing to support the Field Museum and the science we explore together.”
– Jaap Hoogstraten, Head of Exhibitions
The Founders’ Council is the Field Museum’s premier giving society—recognizing annual donors for their generous, unrestricted gifts of $2,500 or more to support every aspect of the Museum’s mission. Founders' Council donors represent Chicago’s most active and civic-minded citizens in the city and around the country.
Thank you for making a gift of this level and affirming your commitment to the mission of the Field Museum.
