Donations and Memorials

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Mower County Historical Society depends on contributions from individuals, businesses, and foundations to keep going. Donations can be designated for a specific function (for example the research library, artifact conservation, education program, etc.) or it can be undesignated and placed in the general fund to cover operating expenses. All memorials received by the organization are placed in the Memorial Fund, which is used only to aid in offsetting costs of large projects. Please consider making a donation to MCHS. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law. Want to make a donation? You can do so via Givemn.org . Click on the Givemn.org button to donate directly to MCHS!
