Your financial support can help keep the Columbia River Maritime Museum’s mission of enrichment, education and stewardship alive for generations to come. There are many ways to make a donation to the Museum. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Sam Johnson or call 503.325.2323. You can also donate online.


Planned Giving

The Columbia River Maritime Museum has benefited from the thoughtful generosity of individuals who included the institution in their estate plans. Planned gifts can offer tax benefits while enabling you to make a more significant gift than otherwise possible.


Endowment Giving

An endowment fund is a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding, which creates a legacy of support for the museum. Named general operating endowments can be created at the museum.


Tribute / Memory Gifts

Honor the special person in your life—parent, spouse, grandchild, friend—or any memorable occasion. If you would like to let the honoree know about your gift, we'll send them a special gift acknowledgment. Please select an amount above and then include their name and address at checkout.


Gifts of Stock

Stock that has increased in value is one of the most popular assets used for charitable giving, once it has been held for a minimum of a year. Making a gift of securities offers you the chance to help the Columbia River Maritime Museum while realizing many important benefits for yourself.
