The Museum of Natural History is where discovery comes alive. From the Rocky Mountains to global field sites, the Museum transforms curiosity into deeper understanding of the natural world and human cultures. The Hugo G. Rodeck Museum Endowment supports the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History by fostering knowledge and appreciation of the natural environment and human cultures through research, education, and community programming. The fund is named in honor of former Museum Director, Hugo G. Rodeck, and made possible by a gift from the Rodeck family. This endowment supports dynamic research in the Rocky Mountains and around the globe. It facilitates community science projects on pollinators and native plants, sharing K–12 educational programming across Colorado and beyond. It supports our priceless collections and enables us to feature stunning specimens and objects by creating dynamic new exhibitions.
