The Marie Drake Planetarium

• FOMDP a 501(c)(3) was formed in 2014 to support the planetarium and astronomy education in Juneau.  We are fundraising for a new digital projector. The planetarium has been run by volunteers since November, 1991. 
  
• The purpose of FOMDP is to promote astronomy education in Juneau including promoting, using and upgrading the Marie Drake Planetarium.
• The board's primary goal is to raise funds for purchase of a new projector. 
• When the non-profit formed, the organization of planetarium remained as before: Presentations and events continued to be (almost always) free and are given by volunteers reflecting their diverse knowledge and interest in astronomy.
• A person must volunteer for at least a year before being becoming a board member.
