GWV Smith Art Museum Closed for Restoration - Reopening Late October

Help More People Discover Something Extraordinary

Every day at the Springfield Museums, a child discovers the wonder of science, a family shares a memorable afternoon, a student connects with history, or an art lover finds fresh inspiration.

Your Annual Fund gift makes those moments possible.

Annual Fund support provides the flexible funding that keeps the Museums vibrant, from bringing world-class exhibitions to Springfield and caring for extraordinary collections to expanding educational programs and creating welcoming experiences for visitors of all ages.

Every gift, at every level, helps ensure that our five museums remain places where curiosity grows, learning comes alive, and our community can explore art, history, science, and imagination together.

Many donors choose to make a monthly recurring gift, which provides reliable support throughout the year and can be an easy, budget-friendly way to make an even greater impact over time.

Whether you’re making your first gift, becoming a monthly donor, or renewing your support, thank you for helping more people discover something extraordinary.

To learn more about the Annual Fund, please contact the Development Office at 413-314-6458, or development@springfieldmuseums.org.

Legacy Giving

By including the Springfield Museums in your estate plans, you can help ensure that future generations experience the joy of discovery through art, history, science, and imagination.

More Ways to Give

Whether you’d like to make a gift today or plan for the future, there are many options that can fit your charitable and financial goals, including donor-advised funds, gifts of appreciated stock, and more.

Tribute Donations

Whether you are celebrating a milestone, recognizing a loved one, or remembering someone special, your gift creates opportunities for discovery and inspiration throughout our Museums.

Naming Opportunities

Naming an area, program, or position is a meaningful way to celebrate someone special, honor a family tradition, recognize a loved one, or create a lasting connection to a place that inspires discovery every day.

Gifts to the Collections

One of the most important ways that Museums build their collections is through the generosity of private collectors and benefactors who donate their treasured works of art, historical artifacts, or scientific collections to the Museums for the benefit of future generations.

Donation Requests

The Museums are honored to support the community through in-kind donations to non-profit organizations and schools.
