Donations

Help preserve the Museum and its American glass collection.

The Historical Glass Museum relies on members and supporters to fund daily operations and ongoing projects.

The secure donation page opens on Donorbox. The Museum website does not collect or process payment details.

Financial Gifts

Online gifts help support the Museum's day-to-day operation unless the donor specifies another purpose.

Checks may be made payable to Historical Glass Museum and mailed to:

Historical Glass Museum Foundation
P.O. Box 9195
Redlands, CA 92375-2395

A gift may be designated for the Restoration Fund or Current Operating Fund, or made in memory or honor of someone. Memorial and honorary gifts may be acknowledged in the Museum newsletter.

Glass and Related Items

The Museum may accept American-made glass, glass-related items, office supplies, real property, and items suitable for sale in the Gift Shop.

All glass donations must be approved before they are brought to the Museum. The Museum may decline a donation when it is overstocked or does not have storage space.

Contact the Museum for approval.

How Glass Is Used

  1. Items may be added to the permanent collection.
  2. Items may be designated for sale in the Museum Gift Shop.
  3. Duplicates or excess items may be sold in the Gift Shop to support Museum expenses.

An itemized list is appreciated because it helps the all-volunteer Museum with bookkeeping.

Volunteer Time

Donations of time are also welcome. Volunteers help clean glass and cases, serve as docents, participate on the Board, and assist with other Museum work.
