Membership is About Investing in the MVM's Mission!

From the Museum's founding in 1922, the support of dedicated members has been crucial to the growth of the organization, the fulfillment of its mission, and in the establishment of a shared strategic vision. Determined to preserve the history of the Island, members have contributed to the MVM through the decades by the volunteering of their time, by the donation of family papers, rare photographs, and artifacts, and through their generous financial support.

At the start of a new century, the Martha's Vineyard Museum continues to rely on members for their support and their commitment to preserve the past and present. And, with the growth of our Museum programs and outreach to new communities of users, we rely more than ever on our member's financial support. Membership is the backbone of the Museum and each member is important to us.
