“Our Place in Time,” relies heavily upon volunteer support.

 

The most important way to give your time is by volunteering to collect material to be used in the production of documentaries for the exhibit.  You can help by: finding a person with a story to tell; conducting an interview (be the interviewer or run the camera); locate photographs or take pictures.  

 

Other ways you can help

 

Assisting with fundraising campaigns.

Promoting the project at civic, church and school gatherings.

Locating items for display in the exhibit.

Invite friends and family to volunteer.

Partner with a student to do an interview.

 

GIVING to the Living History Project is crucial to its ongoing success.

 

 

Even though we will apply for many grants, private and business contributions are absolutely crucial.   A substantial donor base is necessary to show potential funders that we have community support and the ability to raise matching dollars.  Contact the Project Director, B.J Gudmundsson, at 304-645-4998 to discuss a way that meets your special way of giving.

 

In some cases donors wish to make a gift earmarked to a special project, such as a film about their family or business, or support for a student program, such as the Film Competition.   Others wish to earmark to their donation for a piece of equipment or exhibit item.  Many folks donate a gift in recognition of a special friend or family member, or a gift in memorial to a loved one who has passed away.  The Living History Project can alsoaccept in-kind gifts such as equipment or necessary services.

 

Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent of the law.  Our financial summaries are available for public review upon request

 

Thank You for Your Support!.
