The
Annual Fund is the Martha's Vineyard Museum's yearly appeal to members and friends
for contributions that help support the programs and operations of the organization.
The MVM does not receive support for its operational budget from any local or
state government agency. The MVM is a private non-profit organization that is
reliant on its members' support. Indeed, over the past five years, strong member
support has allowed the MVM to operate with a balanced budget every year.
Gifts
to the Annual Fund are placed in the MVM's "unrestricted" accounts.
These funds are vital to supporting such activities as the mounting of exhibits,
the development of educational resource packets, the implementing of new technology,
as well as the conserving of our image collection. For more information, please
contact Development Director Amy Houghton at 508-627-4441, ext. 121 or email her

Help Martha's Vineyard Museum by making a donation:
MVM Endowment: To ensure
the MVM's future, the Museum must continue to develop its endowment fund. The
fund will aid the organization as it faces increasing operating costs. The MVM
accepts donations of cash, property, and stocks that can help us expand our endowment.
For more information, please contact Amy Houghton at 508-627-4441, ext. 121 or
email her at
.
MVM Collections: Members can help "grow" our collections through the
donation of photographs, personal papers, scrimshaw, and logbooks. These gifts
can be made during your life or through your will. We recommend that you contact
the Museum's curatorial staff or library staff. For information about our collecting
policy, please refer to the MVM' Collections Development and Acquisition Policy
(link).
A gift of remembrance is a way to
honor or acknowledge a family member or special friend by investing in the mission
of the Martha's Vineyard Museum. These gifts can be given to celebrate a family
event such as a birthday, anniversary, or graduation. Or, these
gifts can also be given as an act of remembrance for a friend or family member.
For more information, please contact Susan Wilson at 508-627-4441, ext. 117 or
