WE RELY ON YOUR GENEROSITY
Your Donation Makes a Difference
With your help, The History Museum of Hood River County can continue to provide its great services to the public. You would be contributing towards the continuing education of all people who walk through our doors. If you had a good experience in the past, or if you were lucky enough to visit us at one of our special exhibitions, know that all this wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our supporters.
A donation of any amount would be appreciated. Please consider becoming a sustaining supporter at the level of:
$2,500 - Diamond
$1,000 - Gold
$500 - Bronze
There is always a need to collect and preserve the artifacts that tell the story of the development of this community we call home. We would be delighted to talk with you about our planned giving program: a Legacy donation today that will sustain the Museum into the future.
The History Museum is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
Donations are tax deductible.
