Elevator Campaign

The Museum found its new home in 2019, and, after Phase I renovations, opened the first Gallery in August 2020. Now we need to install an elevator to make the entire building fully accessible to the public. You can “Help Take Us to the Next Level” by donating at out Donation Page or through ColoradoGives.org. If you would like to be part of the Capital Campaign Committee, or have any leads or ideas, please contact the Museum Director.

Matching Gifts

If you are an employee or retiree of a company that has a matching gift program you can ask your employer to match your donations to the Museum.

Planned Giving

The Museum is currently developing a planned giving program.  Please call us for more information or check back here on the website.

Family Foundation

If you or your family have created a family foundation, the Museum welcomes an opportunity to respond to requests for grant proposals.

Memorials and Tributes

Honor the memory of a loved one by making a special Memorial Gift to the Museum in their name.  Celebrate a special occasion or accomplishment with a Tribute Gift for birthdays, anniversaries or graduations. The Museum sends an acknowledgment card to the honoree or family of the honoree. 

In-kind Donations

Due to our move, DMMDT is accepting very limited donations at this time, as there is limited staff time to process them.  If you have questions, please contact the Executive Director, Wendy Littlepage.

Artifacts

The Museum is currently going through a transition. The Museum will be starting construction soon and will be limiting donations. If you wish for the Museum to consider your donation, please follow the email instructions below and send detailed descriptions and pictures. Due to high volume of offers we cannot accept every object offered. At this time it would be irresponsible of us to accept new objects without being 100% certain of where we will house them. Donating an object can take time as we have a limited staff and objects for the collection must be voted on by a committee of volunteers. 

The best way to ensure we can care for your items, as well as the 20,000 we currently have is to help with our capital campaign. Our capital campaign is currently underway with 100% commitment from the Board of Directors. We have hired a professional fundraiser to work with our site committee and are working diligently to find a suitable location. We encourage you to take part in this campaign so that we can continue to care for our unique collection in a new location. Please contact us about the Capital Campaign or a General Museum Inquiries.

In order to determine if objects may be added to the collection, staff asks that you email a detailed description of the objects, including dimensions and condition and, if possible, photos. The photos and description will allow us to do research to determine if the objects fit into our current collecting goals and if we have the proper storage conditions for the objects. Objects that are considered for the collection must be approved by the staff, reviewed by a committee who works with the collection and approved by the Board of Directors.  Photos make this process much easier.

Our collections policy is available upon request. Please do not show up with your items. Staff may not be available to meet. We ask that you make an appointment directly with staff before bringing any objects to the Museum. Click Here for Collections Inquires. 

Given the limited amount of space at the museum and few avenues for selling items that have been donated for fundraising purposes we do not accept all types of donations for the collection or for fundraising.
