Your Gift to the Community

The Annual Fund represents unrestricted annual operating support from individuals, businesses and foundations. It provides important financial support above and beyond those funds derived from membership and admission fees.

Your tax-deductible gift to the 2010 Annual Fund is used where it is needed most – from air conditioning on a hot summer day to supporting education programs.

It endows the Museum with consistent and much needed funding. Your support allows us to advance our mission and broaden our reach in the community.

Every gift to the Museum, no matter the amount, makes an impact on our work at the Museum and the programs we provide.
