Choose How You Want to Support the Packard Legacy with Your Donation

General Fund Support

Your generosity helps ensure visitors from around the world can enjoy learning about the history of Packard. Just like running any business or househeld, the Museum has many behind-the-scenes expenses. For example, our original 1917 building is magnificent, but requires constant upkeep. We are continually trying to update exhibits, facilities, and operations to give our visitors a wonderful experience while learning about the Packard legacy. General Operating Support is so vital, and every little bit helps. When you give to America’s Packard Museum, you help preserve the Packard story for generations to come.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit. EIN Number 31-1340842

Buildings and Grounds

Our 1917 Packard distributorship has been open as America’s Packard Museum for the past 34 years and like all older facilities, they need continual care. We make improvements and updates to our historical site that vastly improve the full museum experience.

Much of this work goes unnoticed, but it is essential because securing the physical envelope of our building is the single most important initiative we can complete to preserve the Packard story for generations to come. Your gift can help pay for the maintenance and improvements that keep the Packard legacy alive.

Fund a School Trip

School Field Trips

Education is at the center of our mission at America’s Packard Museum. We strive to inspire Dayton-area students by bringing innovation and history together.

Unfortunately, with school funding shortages, many students do not have the opportunity to take field trips. America’s Packard Museum is committed to the needs of all students and educators who want to visit, and we’re asking for your assistance in removing some of the financial roadblocks. Your gift can help pay for desperately needed school transportation.
