The Palmetto Historical Park’s current top 5 fundraising needs are below. To learn more about our finances or to make a donation, please visit our Giving Partner profile:

1. Programming Sponsor – to assist in providing programming materials, supplies, lesson plans, books, and more for our free community programs.

2. Field Trip Sponsors: $50- covers cost of hands-on-materials for one week of programming; $600- covers bus transportation for two classes.

3. Event Sponsor – to provide food, supplies, lecturers and event entertainment, craft supplies, new or travelling exhibits, advertising and promotional materials, and support for the free events at the park.

4. Preservation and Education Center- in order for our museum to continue to grow, we need more space in a modern building that can better control climate, humidity etc. This facility would include a place to store and work on the preservation of our collection of historical objects and archives, a workshop for exhibit development, as well as the space to educate about the science of preservation.

5. Volunteers to help catalog collection, digitize documents in our Archives Center, enter data into computer system & make accessible to researchers through useful search terms.
