Ways to Donate

Unlike state historical societies, The Filson Historical Society does not receive tax dollars to support its operations.  In addition to becoming a Filson member there are a numbers of ways you can help make a difference.

Annual Fund

Since 1884, The Filson Historical Society has been committed to preserving our region's collective memory and rich culture, forming an irreplaceable link to the past that provides a sense of place, community and identity.

When you give to the Annual Fund, your donation will help make it possible for us to continue providing education in the form of lectures, conferences and our two quarterly publications, as well as building and managing our unique collections.

Corporate Donations

Corporate donations are a crucial component to the success of any great organization.  Through their generosity we are able to give back to the community.

Matching Donations

Matching gift benefits are typically offered to employees through their employers, allowing them to double their charitable gifts.  Contact your personnel office for more details.

For more information about annual giving, corporate donations and matching gifts, please call (502) 635.5083 or email Judy Miller (miller@filsonhistorical.org)
