JAMO is looking for at least 12 donors to sponsor a free day each month at $1000. With this donation, we will advertise that the day is sponsored by the individual/family. This is an opportunity to guarantee access to the museum for all.
JAMO is looking for donors to sponsor classes from across the area to visit the museum, increasing access for students who will carry this history with them into the future. This $500 sponsorship includes bus fare and admission fees for one class to visit the museum. Schools would be able to apply for this bus fund program through our education department.
JAMO is seeking unrestricted funds to help support other projects and programs like temporary exhibitions, educational programs, teacher workshops, and facilities related upgrades.
