Boulder developer and property owner Stephen Tebo will donate $1.5 million to the Museum of Boulder, museum officials said on Tuesday.
The museum, formerly known as Boulder History Museum, is raising money as part of its move from its current location in the University Hill neighborhood to a much bigger space at 2205 Broadway, the former site of Boulder’s Masonic Lodge. The project involves a capital campaign to raise $11.3 million.
“This is a real boost to the campaign,” said Carolyn Booth, the museum’s director of development.
Tebo’s donation is so far the campaign’s largest private donation. It brings the total raised to $9.5 million, a figure that includes a $1 million public-fund match that the donation triggers, Booth said. The 2014 voter-approved Issue 2A tax earmarked $4 million for the museum, and $3 million has already been drawn down.
