Donate to Knox Museum’s Annual Appeal
The General Henry Knox Museum is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization which relies on the generosity of its supporters to survive. Membership dues, tour admissions, and ticket and gift shop sales cover about 75% of the costs needed to operate the Museum. Each year we look to donations to make up the difference.
The Knox Annual Appeal, to which supporters may donate any amount between $5 and $5000 in unrestricted funds, allows Knox Museum to pay its bills and keep the doors open, so that we may continue to offer quality education, preservation, military, and community programming throughout the year.
Donations are particularly welcome in the fall as the next calendar year’s Annual Appeal campaign is launched to carry the Museum through the winter, but are, of course, gratefully accepted at any time throughout the year. Thank you!

Keep History Alive – The Signature Society
Consider becoming part of the Knox Museum Signature Society if wanting to donate more than $1000.
Volunteer
We depend on our volunteers! During the summer they do everything from greet visitors at the door and provide orientations and guided tours, to ring up purchases at the Museum Gift Shop.
Behind the scenes, volunteers assist us year round with planning, implementing and publicizing our programs, overseeing our collections, raising funds, soliciting memberships, providing educational materials and tours to area school children, stocking the Museum Gift Shop, maintaining our web pages and the myriad of other tasks necessary to keep the museum operating smoothly.
The Signature Society
The Signature Society combines major gift levels of Museum membership and annual appeal support to qualify for special benefits. The purpose of this society is to encourage the levels of financial support required both to sustain and to expand the museum’s programs and services. Society members will receive one appeal for a combined membership and annual appeal donation each September. Additionally, gifts of $1000 automatically bestow Signature Society membership and privileges upon the individual donor. Foundation support does not apply.
Membership is at three levels:
1) $1,000-2,499, 2) $2,500-4,999, and 3) $5,000+
Benefits, detailed below, include special recognition as Signature Society members, and unique privileges such as a 25% museum shop discount, specially-scheduled private tours, discounted rental use of the facilities, and honored guest status at the museum’s annual premier benefit.
