Did you know?
We have several clubs that donate a portion of their car show revenue to the Museum.
We would love to speak to you about naming the NCM as one of your club show recipients.
Development and Donations
Ways to Support the National Corvette Museum
The National Corvette Museum is a not-for-profit foundation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which means that we are eligible to accept tax deductible donations. We provide a donation letter or email for every cash gift made.
Cash Gifts
Twice a year we mail a solicitation letter to our current and former donors and our current members. This letter asks for continued support for the Museum. Sometimes our plea is for a specific project and sometimes for general support for upkeep of the Museum. We offer commemorative gifts with specific levels of donations.
Dedication Opportunities
We offer many opportunities to recognize or commemorate a special occasion or person. Donations for these opportunities are also tax deductible.
Flint Wall Donations – Several years ago the Flint, Michigan Plant was torn down, and General Motors saved the bricks for us to use for fundraising. Our facilities team built three walls by the Assembly Plant display, and enthusiasts may make a $250 donation to place a name on one of these bricks. The first two walls are full, and we have several bricks named on the third and final wall.
Chevrolet Theater Seats – The seats in our Chevrolet Theater are available for naming for a $1,000 donation.
Club Parking Lot Banners – Clubs may sponsor banners in the Museum’s parking lot for a $500 donation. These are changed out each year, and clubs are notified via eNews when it is time to change the banners out.
Special Gift Opportunities
Periodically we get some unique items that we can offer as a gift with a donation. Currently, we have a limited number of C7 Press Kits that were given to us by General Motors to use as fundraisers. These are available for a $500 donation. The donation amount for special gift opportunities varies depending on the gift.
Required Minimum Distributions
For Museum members and supporters who have reached the age of 70.5 years, there is an opportunity to make a gift to the Museum without taking all or part of your required minimum distribution as income.
Duntov Society
Several years ago we formed our Duntov Society to honor those who have included the Museum in their estate plans. To date we have about 80 estate gift commitments from individuals or couples who plan to leave the Museum a car, cash, or real estate.
Spire Society
Our Spire Society recognizes donors who have contributed $25,000 or more to the Museum cumulatively. Cash and estimated estate gifts are counted as part of the Spire Society total.
Recognition for Support
To say thanks to our supporters, we annually host our Winner’s Circle, Duntov Society and Spire Society evening on Friday night of our NCM Michelin Bash Event.
Winner’s Circle recognizes donors who have given $1,000 or more in the previous calendar year. Each donor receives a lapel pin based on their level of giving. Annual giving levels are:
Crew Chief $ 1,000 - $2,499
Driver $ 2,500 - $4,999
Sponsor $ 5,000 - $9,999
Champion $10,000 and above
Duntov Society members are invited to attend each year and are recognized their first year with a special Duntov crystal.
Spire Society members are invited to attend each year and are recognized the first year with a special Spire Society gift and again when they move to the next cumulative giving level. Foundation $ 25,000 - $ 99,999
Visionary $100,000 - $249,999
Heritage $250,000 - $499,999
Pinnacle $500,000 - $999,999
Summit $1 million and above
