More ways to get involved
Help ensure the future of our shared history.
Supporting the Bowman Museum goes beyond membership—there are lasting ways to contribute that help preserve Crook County’s past for generations to come. One of the most impactful ways to give is through the Crook County Historical Society Endowment Fund.
The Endowment Fund is a permanent financial resource that provides critical, ongoing support for the museum’s daily operations and educational programs. Managed by the Oregon Community Foundation, the fund ensures long-term financial stability and helps the museum continue to grow and thrive.
There are several ways to contribute:
- Outright Gifts – Donations of cash, property, or securities are welcome at any time and go directly toward strengthening the fund.
- Deferred Gifts – Through a charitable remainder trust, you can donate the principal to the museum while continuing to receive income during your lifetime.
- Planned Gifts Through Wills – Leaving a gift in your will is a meaningful way to ensure your legacy supports local history. You can designate a specific amount, a piece of property, or a percentage of your estate.
The Historical Society’s top priority for the Endowment Fund is growing its principal balance—an investment in the future that provides essential stability for the A.R. Bowman Memorial Museum in the decades ahead.
Every gift, large or small, helps us protect Crook County’s stories, artifacts, and traditions. Your support keeps history alive.
