Widespread community support of the New Millennium Campaign will demonstrate the area's commitment to quality educational and cultural experiences, to the growth and development of the region's children, and to the overall quality of life for everyone in the Valley.

The $5.5 million campaign goal includes:

Capital Projects & Fees   $3.5 Million

Endowment                  $2.0 Million

                  Total    $5.5 Million

Already the City of McAllen has pledged $1.7 Million for the capital projects, and the Junior League is underwriting the Science Playground. 

The campaign provides a variety of opportunities for individuals, foundations, businesses, and community organizations to support the plans of the McAllen International Museum.  Tax-deductible campaign contributions may take the form of cash; pledges over three-to-five year period; donations of securities, tangible personal property, or real estate; and bequests and other types of planned giving.

All contributions will be acknowledged in publicity in the categories noted unless anonymity is requested.  In addition, donors of $1000 or more will be recognized permanently in the Museum.
