Donations


At the Swedish American Museum, we pride ourselves in offering a wonderful array of exhibits, events, and programming that honors, celebrates, and educates Museum visitors on Sweden’s past, present, and future. For the Museum to be able to continue to provide these services and unique learning experiences, we need the support of donors like you. Outside support enables the Museum to maintain and expand our current programming, as well as fill the gaps in the Museum’s operating budget not covered by other funding sources.

Immigrant Wall

Preserve your family history and honor your immigrant ancestors by placing their names on the Immigrant Wall of Honor. Purchase a brick to be personalized with a brass plaque, engraved with the honoree’s name, country/nationality, and year of immigration. (The cost is $50 per brick. This is tax deductible).

Other ways to support the Museum is to choose the Swedish American Museum as your cause with iGive and on-line shopping will create donations.

If you are interested in making a tax–deductible gift today, please contact our Executive Director, Karin Moen Abcrombie at kabercrombie@samac.org or 773.728.8111 ext. 29.
