Snoopy, being the community-minded beagle he is, understands that museums are for everybody.

Snoopy was chosen as an ambassador for museums because his well-rounded life and interests exemplify the kind of life-long learning that museums make possible. Snoopy’s multiple guises in the PEANUTS comic strip (e.g. WWI Flying Ace, “Joe Cool”, Olympic athlete, scout leader, writer, the first dog to fly solo across the Atlantic) relate to 20th century history and culture, a key subject in many museums. Snoopy is also a real life mascot for aviation and space, with a lunar module in the United States Apollo space program named after him.

Museums are truly special places, anchors of communities where families, friends and neighbors can meet, learn and discover together. We’re lucky in California, because our state has an incredible variety of great museums that serve a truly diverse range of interests and specialties – from art museums and aquariums to history museums, zoos, science centers, and children’s museums.

Proceeds generated from the sales of official Snoopy Special license plates go into a designated fund administered by the California Cultural and Historical Endowment to support the Museum Grant Program, which benefits California museums.

Jean Schulz, the widow of Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz, founded a museum in Santa Rosa in honor of her husband called the Charles M. Schulz Museum. Based on this experience, she recognized the need for additional funding for California museums. To help meet this need, Ms. Schulz and Peanuts Worldwide, as the copyright holders, are generously giving royalty-free rights to Snoopy's image to benefit museums. The vast popularity of Snoopy and PEANUTS are helping to sell this plate to California residents, and sending the message that museums are for everyone.

The California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE) is a state entity tasked with preserving and protecting California’s cultural resources. These include the tangible aspects of California’s history – the artifacts, collections, archives, historic structures and properties that cultivate understanding of our collective past, and preserve the many treasures that are California’s cultural legacy.

The Museum Grant Program is a competitive grant program administered by the CCHE to support small projects in museums, authorized by AB 482 in 2013. Initially funded with Proposition 40 bond funds, it will subsequently be funded with revenues from the new Snoopy license plate.

CAM, founded in 1979, is a non-profit service organization that serves the interests and needs of California museums. With over 1,200 members in almost every county across the state, CAM assists California museums in fulfilling their missions as educational and research institutions that interpret and preserve artistic, cultural, and scientific artifacts for public benefit. California’s museums are as diverse as the communities in which they are found and include historical societies, cultural centers, art museums, botanical gardens, science centers, tribal museums, zoos, aquariums, and children’s museums.
