Support

WKMA is full of stories. We are the collectors, protectors, and tellers of stories from far away countries and right here in the mountains of Appalachia, from worlds real and imagined, from times long ago and right now. Become part of our story. Help us tell your story.

Donate

Whether you donate $5 or $500, your support matters to us. A donation is so much more than money. It is a spark, an investment in imagination, creativity, and inspiration. It says that you believe in the power of art to change minds and open hearts and change the world.

Sponsorship

Sponsorships provide productive and positive partnerships between the museum and regional businesses to the benefit of both. The museum benefits by important unrestricted income and the association with the wider business community. You benefit with the opportunity for business promotion through the museum’s broad marketing reach and association with the museum’s reputation for excellence.

Create Your Own WKMA Legacy!

Given the extraordinary connection that most everyone has with this iconic place, WKMA is encouraging donors to associate their names (or those they wish to honor or remember) with our Brick Welcome Mats. Brick pavers can be inscribed with names and memories in exchange for a gift to WKMA.

Thank you to all our patrons!

WKMA is your museum. Our exhibits, our programs, our lectures, demonstrations, and classes– everything is conceived and planned around the idea of how we can best serve our community. We rely on your support to continue our mission to make our community brighter every day. Every visit, every volunteer hour, every dollar donated is deeply appreciated. We couldn’t do this without you! Thank you for your continued support of WKMA.
