The National Building Museum understands the value of personal gifts and makes a steadfast commitment to ensure that funds entrusted to our care are wisely invested and used to support our innovative education programs, thought-provoking exhibitions, and overall support of the Museum.
The easiest way to make a gift is through our Annual Fund. Your tax-deductible contribution provides income essential to the operation of the Museum. Every gift, large or small, provides vital support for the Museum's dynamic exhibitions and award-winning educational programs, allowing us to continue enriching the lives of 500,000 people each year.
