Using Payments To Make An Affordable Donation
In the original capital campaign plan of 1998, donations could be spaced out over several months or years in the form of a capital campaign pledge.  Pledge payments can be made monthly, quarter, twice per year or annually for as many as five years.  Donors can direct their dollars toward a specific project(s) from a list of the museum's most relevant needs or choose to allow the museum to use the money wherever most needed. The following table illustrates a variety of pledge options;

All donations are acknowledged publicly unless the donor specifically requests anonymity.  Donors are listed in the annual report and on the in-kind, cash or volunteer plaque.  Cash donations and in-kind donations are acknowledged with receipts which can be used if you choose to itemize taxes.  All cash donations are also acknowledged on the Gears for Growth or Memorial display, as appropriate.
