Preserving the past, shaping the future
Your donation to the Annual Fund will play a vital role in showcasing our nation’s history at Jamestown Settlement and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, including acquiring period artifacts for our galleries, supporting special exhibitions, sustaining living history programs, and delivering education programming that expand the borders of the classroom.
Our mission, your impact.
Our award-winning programs depend on generous contributions to our Annual Fund. Last fiscal year, more than 3,000 donors collectively contributed $829,122 to support our museums’ most pressing needs.
How to increase your impact
- Monthly Giving helps provide steady, dependable support for a wide range of programs that educate visitors and schoolchildren about our nation’s history.
- Gift Clubs begin at the $100 level and include opportunities to experience our museums firsthand.
- Matching Gifts. Many companies will match the donations of their employees and retirees. To learn more, contact your employer’s human resources office and submit a matching gift form with your contribution.
