Your Gift to SHMA

The Steilacoom Historical Museum Association is an entirely volunteer organization.  Its operation depends almost solely upon the generosity of individual men, women, and children who donate their time and energy.   If you would like to volunteer to work on one or more of SHMA’s many activities, please contact us by telephone or mail (see CONTACT US). Many families volunteer as a unit.  If you would also like to become a member of the Association, we invite you to complete and submit an application for membership.  Please click the link titled BECOME A MEMBER.  The many opportunities for volunteer work are listed there also. 

Individuals or organizations may also support the work of SHMA through special gifts of money or property.  The donation or selling of property for a reasonable price has allowed SHMA to obtain title to significant historic buildings.  Since SHMA is a non-profit volunteer organization, there may be opportunities for tax savings through your gifts. 

The restoration of SHMA’s historic properties has been possible through generous support of the community, and through significant grants from the following agencies and foundations: 

SAVE AMERICA’S TREASURES (NATIONAL PARK SERVICE)
