How you can support the Wurtsmith Air Museum (WAM)

Greetings, Wurtsmith AFB veterans, neighbors, and friends –
Did you know, the Wurtsmith Air Museum is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that receives no Federal, or State funds and depends solely on museum admissions, gift shop purchases, and donations to operate? If you would like to contribute, please see the options below.

Donate Money

Your financial contribution covers our operating costs. WAM has no paid staff. Ongoing annual expenses include $13,000 for utilities and insurance, $7,000 for regular maintenance, and $10,000 for administration and advertising. Special projects such as aircraft acquisitions or capital improvements can easily exceed $10,000 or $20,000. Every donation is deeply appreciated and used wisely.
