Annual Support
You Can Help
The Annual Fund is the lifeblood of the Museum; it supports all Museum activities and directly affects the way Chicago’s history is shared with our community. The Museum is here to tell Chicago's story—and you can help us keep the story alive with a donation to the Annual Fund.
Please make your gift online today or contact us for more information. Your support will make it possible for us to continue to conserve artifacts and documents, offer unique educational programming, and continue our long tradition of excellence.
