Ways to Support

Gifts of assets, rather than cash, can be made to The American Civil War Museum and prove tax-wise to you. Giving appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can provide special tax advantages, including avoidance of capital gains tax and, in most instances, a charitable deduction for the full fair market value. Discuss the advantages of a gift of securities with your tax advisor.

Support from corporations and foundations ensures the museum engages with the larger working community today and that our work continues into the future. If you are a corporation looking to sponsor the museum’s work or a foundation who is interested in how the American Civil War Museum is changing the narrative then please get in touch.

For more information about partnering or making an investment, please contact Jake Huff, or Manager of Donor Relations at 804-649-1861 ext. 144 or jhuff@acwm.org.

Planned gifts provide for the future of the American Civil War Museum. These commitments ensure our mission to explore, inspire, and promote the public’s understanding of the Civil War and establish your legacy.

For more information about planned giving or to notify the Museum of a planned gift, please get in touch with ACWM Development at 804-649-1861 extension 144.

The reason we have a rich collection of military and civilian artifacts is due to donations over the last 120 years, most from Civil War veterans and/or their immediate family members. If you want to be part of that legacy by donating an item to the American Civil War Museum, please get in touch with our collections department at rhancock@acwm.org.
