Museum Initiatives Endowment Fund

The Museum’s Endowment Fund began in 2001 to ensure the sustainability of the Museum.

Contributions to this fund may to be paid as a lump sum or over a period of years. This allows

the Museum to fund general operation needs.

Legacy Giving

Multiple options are available for your planned giving. Your estate planning can become your lasting

legacy for the Museum. Whether you need immediate income tax deductions or long- term benefits, the

CFD Old West Museum will work with you to design a charitable giving plan.

Expansion Campaign

Over the past 42 years, the Museum has grown thanks to our passionate supporters. We no longer

have the capacity to properly store, catalog, preserve, or grow our collections. To build on our success,

the Museum is engaging in a $5.5 million Expansion Campaign. Our goal is to expand the building to

house our collections, create new permanent exhibition space and engaging gallery content in our

existing space. This is an opportunity to become a richer cornerstone as cultural resource

within our regional community.
