Make a Donation
Here are a few ways you can support the Kenosha Public Museums.
Contribute to the Annual Fund
Donations to the 2016 Annual Fund begin with you and ultimately return to you. Your unrestricted gift supports day-to-day operations. Since the tax levy provides 64% of the operating budget, your gift – large or small – helps raise the balance needed. Your Annual Fund donation keeps all three public Museums open and accessible to make each Museum a place where wonders never cease.
Donations of $500 or more will be recognized on the donor wall.
Buy a Jubilee Brick
The Jubilee Anniversary Terrace is prominently situated on First Avenue south of the Museum entrance. It will be a gathering place for Museum visitors and students. Your donation goes directly back to the Museum to support exhibits and educational programs.
Buy a Veterans Brick
Honor a veteran or soldier by adding his or her name to the Veterans Memorial Terrace at the Civil War Museum, adjacent to the Veterans Memorial Gallery. Each brick is 4×8 inches and can be purchased for $200.
Donate an Artifact
Over 95 percent of the Kenosha Public Museums’ current collections have been donated to the Museums by individual collectors. You may have a treasure that you would like to share. Call the curator of collections at 262-653-4439 for an appointment. Please, no walk-ins.
