Your support helps ensure Abenaki artists are paid for their work while they preserve Abenaki culture for future generations through exhibitions, education, and other public programs.
The Most Effective Way to Contribute
Monthly gifts of $15 – $25 provide the most direct and cost-effective support for Abenaki artists. Recurring contributions help us reduce our costs associated with administration and planning, which ensures more funds go to supporting our mission to support public education, and cultural survival.
- Single Donations are greatly appreciated.
- Larger gifts allow us to expand our reach via traveling exhibits
- A gift of $2,000 or more supports traveling exhibits at new venues covering material costs to artist expenses. In return donor’s name will be listed on the exhibition acknowledgments panel which is prominently displayed near the entrance to the exhibition gallery.
How Your Gift Helps
- Strengthening ties with local communities
- Artists expenses, stipends, and fees
Larger Gifts and Program Support
Larger contributions allow us to expand the reach of our work.
For example, a gift of $2,000 supports a traveling museum exhibition at a new venue, gallery talks, and coordination so Abenaki art and culture can be shared across the region.
These gifts make it possible for us to move beyond a single venue and build sustained visibility for Abenaki art and artists.
One Time Gifts
One-time donations are deeply appreciated. To have the greatest impact, we encourage one-time gifts of $25 or more.
