Annual giving is the backbone of any non-profit. For the South County Museum these funds have provided the flexibility to direct resources to the areas of greatest need and ensure that we are able to continue to remain a vital part of the community. The 2004 Annual Fund Campaign had as its goal to broaden the base of support for the museum and to raise awareness and acceptance of the museum and its responsibility to raise money. Thank you to Honorary Chairman Richard F. Donnelly and Annual Fund Chairman R. Frank Maroni, and thank you to each and every donor for supporting the 2004 South County Museum Annual Fund.
— Daryl Anne Anderson, President
While annual gifts are crucial to the museum, they are not the only way to support it. Some other ways include:
  • Establishing an endowment
  • Remembering South County Museum in your will
  • Planned Giving
  • Honorary gifts
  • Making a gift-in-kind
  • Memorial gifts
  • Making a gift that will provide income throughout your life
For information on any of these giving opportunities, please contact the museum office and a board member will contact you.
The Legacy Society of South County Museum
The Legacy Society was created to honor those individuals who have named the museum in their wills or made a commitment toward the museum's future through planned giving.
