DONATE
Even small financial contributions help us pay the rent, keep the lights on, and hire staff.

We try to make it easy and rewarding to give. Learn more here. Your tax deductible financial donation helps the Museum preserve, maintain, and exhibit hundreds of rare, original materials documenting the evolution of the public relations profession. As the only archive of its kind in the world, the museum is increasingly called upon by business, academia, the media, and government to provide content, data, and visuals unavailable elsewhere. Donate here, via check (see address below), or email us for instructions to transfer securities to the Museum's brokerage account.
Your funding helps the Museum with:
— digitizing one-of-a-kind documents, books, and artifacts to make them available online.
— buying materials for our space, e.g., exhibit cases, signage, framing, and restoration.
— supporting part-time workers to assist with tours and lectures at the museum space and answering online queries.

SPONSOR A MUSEUM EVENT
From the Hidden History or PR to the roots of disinformation, our timely events stimulate discussion across the industry. Your company can sponsor one for as little as $2,500.

  • $15,000 would guarantee one staff member from your firm to appear as a panelist in each of our DEI events, in addition to recognition in all written materials and introductions to all programs.

  • $20,000 would guarantee all the above plus one speaking opportunity over the course of the year from a member of your DEI team.

  • $25,000 would guarantee all the above plus one opportunity to moderate a panel at one of our events.

  • $30,000 would guarantee all the above plus two opportunities to moderate panels at our events.

In addition, at any level at $20,000 or above, we'd be open to partnering with your firm for a special program on a topical DEI event, made up entirely of members of your staff and clients, with diversity scholars provided by the Museum.

CONTRIBUTE HISTORICAL MATERIAL
Your closets, garage, or attic may have papers and artifacts that belong in our collections. Don’t let them end up in a landfill. Contact us first. We continue to build our collection with historically significant materials. One of our goals is to broaden our collection to include rare historical materials from countries outside of the U.S. Your donation is tax deductible and based upon the value of your materials. Kindly send us a note and photograph, if possible, describing the materials you would like to donate, and we will contact you.

As a nonprofit organization, we seek volunteers to serve in a number of capacities, depending upon one's skills, experience and interests. These could include media relations, fundraising, event management, conducting tours, and ongoing collection management. Kindly contact us with your CV and we'll be in touch.
