Donations

For many years, arts and culture organizations have defined membership gifts and donations differently, even though both contribute to the success of the organization and its ability to fulfill its mission.

To ensure that our entire community of supporters is recognized appropriately, we are simplifying how we manage contributions.  

Every financial contribution you make will be considered a donation and will entitle you to a membership in RCHS. Your membership level will automatically adjust based on the amount of your total annual giving.

Along with a subscription to our award-winning quarterly magazine, Ramsey County History, you will receive free admission to Gibbs Farm, special discounts on purchases, and invitations to members-only events.

In addition, your gift helps us connect more than 45,000 curious minds in our community with Gibbs Farm’s immersive school field trips, exciting summer camps, and heritage learning opportunities for adults; our collection of 4.5 million artifacts and archival documents that tell the story of life in Ramsey County; engaging articles and presentations that focus on the untold histories of our County… and so much more!

To make a gift today, please click on the “Donate Now” button below. Our secure website accepts payments by credit card or e-Check.

You may also mail in your donation. Please make your check out to “RCHS” and mail it to us at:

RCHS
75 W 5th Street, Ste #323
Saint Paul, MN 55102
