Picture of a woman and two young boys looking with wonder an a museum exhibit. Headline next to it says "we champion the museum field so you can champion these moments."

Throughout the pandemic, AAM has been championing the museum field and providing timely recovery resources to keep you inspired and in the know about what matters most. Museums received billions of dollars of Federal relief funding through our advocacy efforts, saving countless jobs and closures. Together we can keep this momentum going.

Like most charitable organizations, the costs of these crucial programs exceed our earned revenue from membership, Annual Meeting, and other sources. Your donation counts.

With one click, you can make a difference for an entire field—and our communities—of museums, zoos, aquariums, science centers, and historic sites.
