SPONSOR A HISTORYMAKER

Help The HistoryMakers by sponsoring a HistoryMaker at the cost of $2500-$5000 per interview. Whether you are an individual, organization, company or school, sponsoring a HistoryMaker is as easy as 1, 2, 3! You many have someone in mind and you should let us know who they are and why they should be interviewed. Or you can ask us for a list of candidates and choose someone. We will let them know that you are sponsoring their interview. Not only do you get the satisfaction of knowing that you are actively helping build the archives, but your contribution will be promoted on the website, in our newsletter and as part of our annual event. Note that all contributions are tax deductible.

VOLUNTEER

Volunteer your time and talents to helping our programs, projects and archives thrive! Our dedicated corps of volunteers assist with everything from mailings to research to events and programs. We could not do it without you! Whether you are able to attend monthly volunteer meetings to plan marketing and promotion events, participate in a phone fundraising campaign, or just help out for a few hours each week with administrative tasks in the office, we need your help! Please bring us your skills and passion and we will give you the challenge to help us make history!
