Donate

The Museum depends on community support for much of our operation.

2008 Annual Fund Drive

In the past year donations to the annual fund have helped us to:

• Attract a bright, professional team of Museum staff with vision and expertise.
• Update our equipment to better store, record, and make accessible to the public our vast amount of archival materials, photographs, and information.
• Create better, more experiential exhibits for our visitors.
• Acquire greater recognition (in Kitsap County and well beyond) of KCHS and the Museum as a valuable part of our community, causing a dramatic increase in our attendance.

We are proud of these accomplishments, and enthusiastic about our goals for the coming year, which include:

• Development of more outreach programs, particularly coalitions with schools to assure students throughout Kitsap will experience the history of the County which so many of us appreciate.
• Continuation of our advocacy for historic preservation and documentation of historic sites, which has taken on new energy with the commitment of our Historic Sites Committee.
• Focus on creation of exhibits and programs that incorporate more hands-on experiences, and adding attractive signage and interpretations, a goal well within our reach with our creative, energetic new curator.

Your support of the KHCS Museum makes all the difference.  Without friends like you, KHCS would not be the fine institution it is today.  Our annual fund goal this year is $60,000.  Please help us reach it.
