Endowment Program Areas
Endowment donors can support many program areas at the Minnesota Historical Society.
Gifts of $50,000 or more are recognized as individual named funds tailor-made to provide support for an aspect of the Society’s work that is of special interest to the donor or for the general support of the Society.
A current or future planned gift of $10,000 will be listed as a named fund within program pooled funds approved by the Society’s Executive Council.
