Custom Campaign Priorities
Ask about needs and ideas not represented in this early menu.
Suggested levels are planning concepts. The same space or opportunity may change, combine with another priority, or not be available in the final campaign.
Important: These recognition opportunities are planning concepts, not final offers. Names, locations, gift levels, availability, duration, design, eligibility, and recognition terms remain subject to final plans, campaign approval, gift-acceptance policies, and written agreement. Submitting an interest form does not create a pledge, process a donation, or reserve a naming opportunity.

What kind of legacy interests you?
Tell us where your interest begins. A campaign representative can then discuss the vision, answer questions, and explain what still needs to be decided.
- No payment information is collected
- No opportunity is reserved by submitting

Before you reach out
Clear answers for a campaign in progress.
Can I donate or make a pledge on this website today?
Not yet. The campaign’s secure banking, payment, receipt, and pledge processes are still being prepared. These forms only share your interest with the campaign team so a conversation can begin.
Does submitting a form reserve a brick, paver, or naming opportunity?
No. It does not create a pledge, payment, reservation, or agreement. Recognition is subject to final plans, availability, campaign approval, gift-acceptance policies, and written terms.
Are the museum images and spaces final?
No. The exterior and interior images are conceptual visualizations. Architecture, exhibit design, room names, layouts, and placement have not been finalized.
What happens after I submit?
You will receive an immediate confirmation email, and the campaign team will receive your selections. Someone can then follow up using the contact method you chose.
I only want updates. Which form should I use?
Use the general campaign update form on the museum vision page. The community and founding forms are for people who would like a giving conversation in addition to campaign news.
