Annual Fund

The lifeblood of the International African American Museum comes from supporters who choose to make annual gifts. No matter the level, all gifts are so important and we honor each and every one.

Be inspired by the words of former educator, activist and lifetime member of the museum’s Board of Directors, Lucille Whipper—who is dearly missed.

"Now don’t worry about what’s goin’ on right now you just decide where you can connect to do something about all of the problems that we face. Take a piece of it. Use it and do your thing." - Lucille Whipper (1928-2021)

GIVE TODAY

Major Gifts

With the support of more than 1000 donors, we have successfully raised $96 million for our capital campaign. This allowed us to begin construction and it is moving at a fast pace.

It’s impressive and exciting. Every steel beam represents the hopes and dreams of citizens committed to building an institution that will change the world. We thank all those who have been a part this important endeavor. Our attention now turns to raising funds to recruit a world-class team and create extraordinary education and public programs. We are also building an endowment. The current corpus of our endowment is $7 million; by opening, we hope to increase it to $15 million. Here is a list of some of the major donors to date.

Please feel free to contact Ginny Deerin, Major Gifts Officer, to discuss opportunities. gdeerin@iaamuseum.org or 843 823-7650.
