Annual Fund

The Hudson River Museum is proud to bring a world-class museum experience to you and all in our region. Your gift to the Annual Fund provides the critical yet most difficult-to-find funding: general operating support.

Core to our mission at the Hudson River Museum is the goal of helping members of our community to unlock their full potential. Whether it’s K-12 students, young adults, families, or seniors, the HRM is a unique, welcoming place that stimulates and promotes a sense of inquisitiveness and a lifelong love of learning about art, science, and history. This year as part of our Annual Fund campaign, we are asking you, our valued supporters, to help us unlock the potential of so many in our expanding and diverse community.

Your tax-deductible donation is essential to providing a vibrant future for the Museum. We appreciate that generosity every day. You can also donate by calling (914) 963-4550 x217, or sending a check payable to the Hudson River Museum to 511 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10701.

Donors of gifts of $250 and above are recognized on our Annual Donor Board and Our Supporters page.
