Our Work is Driven by the Generous Support of our Donors

We rely on the generosity of our donors to keep the doors open. Maintaining the exhibits, acquiring new ones, and offering educational programs require funds. Please give generously to ensure the future of our museum.

  • Enhance, protect and share the Museum of the Sierra.
  • Preserve historic artifacts and archival collections for future generations to enjoy. 
  • Provide educational resources for students and educators. 
  • Deliver exceptional events and public programs for our community. 
  • Revitalize the forests and communities surrounding Shaver Lake through land restoration, local stewardship, and economic efforts that honor the historical legacy of the Central Sierra Region.

Corporate Matching Gifts: 
Increase your support of the CSHS through a matching gift from your employer. Check with your employer about whether they match charitable donations. Many match-eligible donors don’t know their company offers a matching gift program.

Sponsorship: 
As a sponsor, your business would provide a tax-deductible financial gift, and in turn we would promote your company as an official sponsor at our many events. By giving this gift, you are directly supporting efforts to create a future where healthy forests, prospering communities, and economic health is shared by generations to come. Click here to become a sponsor today!
