Support CAAM

FINANCIAL DONATIONS

Giving is a two-way exchange that fills the heart and makes great things happen! When you support the California African American Museum (CAAM) you are giving to the largest institution of its kind in the west dedicated to preserving, collecting and interpreting for public viewing the varied contributions of African Americans. Here are just a few ways in which your support paves the way for continued public

Expanding our educational programs and workshops for children, seniors, families and the community at large...helping to integrate the arts and history of African Americans into the daily lives of our visitors
Developing and presenting our own exhibitions like the landscapes of Grafton Tyler Brown: Visualizing California and the Pacific Northwest; or the commemoration of historic events like Through The Gates: Brown vs. Board Education and Deconstructing Apartheid: The Photography of Peter Magubane
Hosting popular traveling exhibitions like Close Up in Black: African American Film Posters and Gordon Parks
Bring special moments to life such as book signings and dialogues with significant contributors to our society such as Dorothy Height, civil rights leader and founder of the National Council of Negro Women
Maintaining and presenting the museum’s permanent collection in our on-going installation The African American Journey West
Helping offset costs associated with presenting art and craft making workshops; maintaining educational programs that meet California standards; offering experience enriching guided tours; and museum management training programs through our Young Docent and High School outreach programs

Your gift makes a difference to CAAM everyday, but it also helps us to reach out beyond our doors to the whole community. Give today and we all continue to benefit tomorrow.
