In order to present outstanding exhibitions and programs year after year, The Textile Museum relies on the ongoing generosity of members and friends. Gifts can be made to support general operating expenses, or one of the Museum's many special projects.

Annual Fund
As a privately funded museum, The Textile Museum relies in large part on member support, and upon the generosity of foundations, corporations and individuals who renew their participation each year. In 2007, gifts to The Textile Museum Annual Fund provided more than $1.5 million, or about 34% of the operating budget. Unrestricted gifts to the 2008 Textile Museum Annual Fund support the ongoing costs of many programs and services, including exhibition design and production; ongoing family programs such as Celebration of Textiles; content development and design of initiatives on The TM Web site; development of programs for teachers and schools; conservation of the Museum's unparalleled collections; publication of exhibition gallery guides and catalogues; and maintenance of the lovely gardens and historic buildings that house the Museum.

Jenkins Library, photography of the collections, or educational programs.
