Donations

The private fundraising campaign seeks to raise funds for the building construction and for the endowment. The goal of the Association is to raise approximately $20,000,000, a portion of which will be held in perpetual trust as an endowment for the purpose of assistance with ongoing operational costs of the museum.

Donations to the building will help provide funds for the construction of the new Great Lakes Naval Museum. Donations to the endowment of the Great Lakes Naval Museum Association are an investment in the future excellence of museum programs by helping fund more education and exhibition offerings and additional personnel to support them.

Please help us continue to preserve the legacy, history and the spirit of the U.S. Navy and its training "boot camps" by making a generous, tax-deductible contribution today to help fund the construction of our new Great Lakes Naval Museum. Your special contribution today -- the most generous you can afford -- will be used to help us build our new Great Lakes Naval Museum. Please rest assured that a gift of any size will be truly appreciated.

Again, the amount being raised is $20,000,000. For details on how you can contribute, select one of the links below for more information.
