  SUPPORT THE MUSEUM

The Museum is a private nonprofit institution dedicated to preserving and sharing Catalina’s rich cultural heritage.  The Museum has grown considerably in the last several years and is developing exciting plans for its future.  There's never been a better time to get more involved. We invite you to help us by becoming a volunteer, member, and/or donor.

The Museum simply wouldn't exist without the support of its volunteers.  Last year volunteers donated more than 1000 hours of their precious time and energy to help the Museum accomplish its mission to preserve and share the cultural history of Catalina Island.  Volunteer opportunities exist in many different areas.  Currently, we have volunteer positions available for researchers, docents, ticket sellers, cookie bakers, wine servers, tour leaders, office assistants and more!  Time commitments range from a few hours annually to a few hours weekly.  If you're interested in getting hands-on with the Museum and joining our team, please call our Office Manager at 310-510-2414 ext. 2# or send an e-mail and let us know what your experiences and interests are! 

The Museum is a privately operated, 510(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  We rely on the support of individuals, corporations and foundations to help us accomplish our mission and goals.  Donations are tax deductible.  Please contact our Executive Director if you'd like to make a donation or learn more about special giving opportunities. We accept memorial gifts, bequests and stock transfers and also encourage special gifts like charitable  remainder trusts.

If you love Catalina we invite you to join us on our quest to collect, preserve and present her rich and varied cultural history. Members receive various benefits, depending on their level of support. All levels receive our full color triannual newsletter - full of museum news, events and Island history-   and a 10% discount on store purchases - and the knowledge that they are an important and valued part of the Museum Family!
