Your gifts allow us to continue serving NIU students and the community! 

Small sums and large sums are equally helpful. Any donations aid the museum in carrying out its mission and continue to exhibit artifacts. 

Looking for examples of some of the many ways your contribution makes a difference to the Museum?

• $25 will allow us to print 50 color flyers

• $50-$100 will cover the cost of educational materials for visiting school groups or buy much needed materials to properly rehouse artifacts.

• $250 will supply the museum with an Artifact Emergency Preparedness and Recovery Kit.

• $500-$1000 would employ one student for a semester project cataloging artifacts or digitizing part of the collection for an online collections database.

• $3000-$5000 would supply the museum with a much needed exhibit case or an upgraded storage cabinet to better take care of our artifacts.
