The National Civil War Museum is a 501(c)(3) private non-profit educational institution that relies on the generous support of individuals, grants, foundations and corporations. The Museum does not currently receive any line item funding directly from the county, city, state or federal government.

Making a gift to The National Civil War Museum is a great way to support our educational, research and curatorial missions. There are a variety of ways to give:

* Preserve Our History Campaign - This unrestricted gift supports the Museum's exhibit development, archival upgrades, educational presentations and much more. The 2011 Campaign also includes the Adopt-A-Gallery initiative, the details of which are described below.

* Gifts of appreciated securities, stocks and bonds 

* Planned giving -

• Bequests are an easy way to support the Museum's future by providing a gift
     in your will.
• Matching gift programs are an easy way to increase your donation through your
     company. Check with your personnel office to find out if they offer matching gifts.

* Sponsorships - Without the support of sponsors, the Museum would be unable to
   provide these unique learning opportunities at the Museum. Click here for the 2011 Sponsorship Program brochure.

 * Gifts of historical value - Thank you for considering entrusting the Museum with your
   family heirloom or artifact from the Civil War that has been passed down through
   generations. By donating to the Museum, you are making a decision to ensure the
   preservation of your families and history and to share that history with future
   generations. Contact our Curator of Collections, Brett Kelley for details on donating an
   artifact, letter or other such item.

* Purchases of Civil War gift items from the Museum Gift Shop or from our online website
