ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
A gift to the Annual Fund provides critical support to every aspect of Chik-Wauk’s programs and operations. It bridges the gap between admission, membership, and gift shop revenue, and the actual cost of running Chik-Wauk and its programs.
Please consider setting up recurring donations through the online service. When opting for recurring donations, the amount specified is automatically charged to your credit card or debited from your bank account at the frequency you select.
NORTH STAR CAMPAIGN
The North Star Campaign reflects the aspiration for Chik-Wauk to be the brightest northern Minnesota museum destination. Like the North Star, Chik-Wauk is a guide for those curious about the rich history of the Gunflint Trail, the Northwoods wilderness, and the universe. And, like the North Star, Chik-Wauk continues to touch people near and far. Thanks to generous gifts of time, talents and funds over the years, the groundwork is in place. With your help today, this is an achievable dream.
The North Star Campaign aims to retire the mortgage on the Cross Creek Staff House & Archival Storage, and fund the development of enhanced website content including the dark sky and virtual viewing of live programming at Chik-Wauk.

GIFT CLUB 2023
The Club was introduced around this time in 2019, and several stepped up to become the first members of this unique group of GTHS/Chik-Wauk supporters. With additional members joining since the first year, all are in a select group having made possible a number of special items needed by the Chik-Wauk staff for program enrichment. These items fall outside of the general operations budget but are very important in enhancing the Museum/Nature Center experience for visitors.
