Friend,
You can still make a difference this
year—today is your last chance to make a donation to the
National Museum of American History and benefit from a 2008 tax
deduction. Help
us prepare for an exciting New Year by making your
donation before midnight on Wednesday, Dec.
31.
As you may know, a decline in
federal funding has left us increasingly dependent on the
generosity of private donors. That’s why we
rely on our supporters—people like you who invest in the
future of our nation’s heritage.
|
Our plans for 2009 are ambitious. New
exhibitions will include "Abraham Lincoln: An Extraordinary
Life," commemorating the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, and
"On the Water: Stories of Maritime America," bringing to life
the nation's rich maritime history. When you make a gift
to the Museum, you ensure we can continue to collect, preserve,
and display the nation’s heritage for future
generations. Gifts can also be made in honor or
memory of a loved one.
Be a part of history. Give before midnight tonight, and know
that your tax-deductible gift is helping to protect and preserve
our shared history. |
|
Your support will help ensure that the
Museum can continue to preserve and illuminate the nation's
heritage for millions to enjoy and provide educational programs
that inspire young and old alike. Make your 2008
tax-deductible donation today.
Thank you for your support. Best wishes for
a happy and safe New Year.
—Brent D. Glass, director
