Where Maine Meets the Cosmos
A $15 Million Capital Campaign to Secure MMGM’s Future

In just six years, MMGM has become a destination for Earth and space science, pushing the boundaries of mineral and meteorite research.
With its start-up phase behind it, MMGM must now build the permanent financial foundation needed to sustain momentum and secure its future.
