Program areas at NHM

The Foundation provides educational & public programming, displays permanent & temporary exhibits, maintains collections, and conducts research activities with a mission to inspire wonder, discovery & responsibility for our Natural & cultural worlds. The effects of covid-19 are described in schedule o. The closure of the museums severely limited the programs that could be offered to mostly digital programming, which negatively impacted earned revenue. Management prioritized preservation of its full-time staff positions, while decreasing certain other operating expenses.
