Annual gifts at every level make a difference. Admissions, city support, and other earned revenue covers only 80% of annual operations and programming. Contributed revenue makes up the balance.
Many companies match their employees’ gifts to nonprofit organizations. If your company has a matching gift program, your contribution can be generously increased and will do even more to support the Museum’s mission. (The Museum’s tax identification number is 92-6009317.)
Through their support of exhibitions, expanding and preserving the museum's collection, lectures, films, music performances, hands-on activities, and book discussions, Circle Members provide overall support to the Anchorage Museum. An exciting array of exhibits and programs are being developed for the expanded museum, and through this program, Circle Members enjoy invitations to events throughout the year, including exclusive previews of exhibitions attended by prominent guests and VIP's associated with the exhibition.
