The FoJDCM supports the City Museum through an endowment at the Juneau Community Fund. These funds support special projects like the Marie Darlin Prize, the History Grant, and free admission to the museum during winter months. Additionally, we also work to help the museum purchase special acquisitions of art or objects with historical significance. You can donate to the endowment, a special project, or the acquisition fund, online or mail a check to PO Box 22450, Juneau, AK 99802
