Donations to the Military Museum are handled through the Friends of the Pennsylvania Military Museum, a non-profit membership organization established in partnership with the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission. 

The Friends assist the museum in many ways, including providing and facilitating educational programming, promoting interest in the Military Museum, and assisting with projects in the Museum and on the grounds. Your donation enables us to provide fun and educational events for your family and community, as well as preserve and maintain our collections. Thank you for your support!

You can now make a donation through PayPal Giving Fund to the Friends of the Pennsylvania Military Museum. We receive 100% of your donation and you receive a tax receipt from PayPal.


TODAY, NOVEMBER 28TH, IS #GIVINGTUESDAY!

We celebrate ALL WEEK LONG! We know how busy this time of year can get! We are here and will be honored to receive donations all week long!

Your donations make everything we do possible. The events in the Theatre and on the grounds, the lectures, the equipment & artifact care and restorations - not to mention the grounds care, doggie bags, and education outreach! Staffing the Visitor Center and making sure that every visitor has an excellent experience - the Friends help make that possible!

Why should I donate through Centre Gives rather than directly to the Friends of the Pennsylvania Military Museum?

During this annual event, your donation through Centre Gives not only qualify your favorite organization for a larger share of the $200,000 stretch pool and $100,000 bonus stretch pool, but will also help them qualify for additional prizes throughout the event.
