Our Donation Goal

We are excited to announce our ambitious project to establish Charleston’s Inflatable Digital Dome Theater Planetarium! This resource will not only serve as a beacon of astronomical knowledge but also provide our community with immersive educational experiences and a unique cultural attraction.

CURRENT NEEDS: We currently need chairs with headrests. Ideally, 40 chairs that will all fit in the dome and do not have to be bolted to the floor. Most auditorium-style chairs with headrests require bolts. So we either need to find or have donated chairs that do not require bolts, or a constructed flooring setup that would allow us to bolt chairs temporarily. Another option is the creation of a false floor to bolt chairs to. We also need interactive exhibits.

Current donations support day-to-day operations, including payroll, gift shop merchandise, and recent repairs and improvements to the planetarium space.

Your generous donations will help us inspire the next generation of scientists, foster a deeper appreciation for the universe, and create a space where students and enthusiasts alike can explore the wonders of the cosmos. Together, we can build a legacy of discovery and innovation for Charleston. Please consider contributing to this transformative endeavor and help us reach for the stars. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to making this dream a reality. Thank you for your support!

The Charleston Planetarium Society is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization (EIN # 92-0365109). This means donations to the Charleston Planetarium Society are tax deductible for the donors. All donations go directly into a fund to build the planetarium here in Charleston.
