Thanks to Our Donors

As a private, nonprofit institution, the National Building Museum relies on the generous support of its donors to realize its mission. In fiscal year 2011, the Museum raised a combined total of $6,165,910 in cash, pledges, and contributed income from individuals, foundations, corporations, associations, and government entities. This support took a variety of forms including grants, sponsorships, memberships, volunteer hours, and visitor donations. The Museum’s Board of Trustees and staff are grateful to all who provided the financial support that enables the Museum to raise awareness of and appreciation for the built environment.

The following donors made gifts of $250 or more during the 2011 fiscal year (October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011). While space limitations do not permit listing gifts of less than this amount, the Museum extends its sincere thanks to all donors.

* The donor’s total giving includes contributed goods and services.
