What are SCFD Free Days?

Organizations across Denver—from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to our neighbors at the Clyfford Still Museum—provide hundreds of free days and free programs throughout the year. These days are made possible, in part, by funding from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).

SCFD is a voter-approved special district in the seven-county metro area that provides a stable source of supplemental funding to more than 300 scientific and cultural organizations inside the district's boundaries.
