BUSINESS MEMBERSHIPS

Join Us!

Help keep the history of Des Plaines alive by supporting our efforts to collect, preserve, and share the community’s stories.

Business Memberships, donations, and sponsorships are more important than ever before, given that government funding for museums, nonprofits, historical societies, and humanities organizations has been slashed nationwide.

While individual memberships provide vital support, we believe the future of our success depends on the partnership of businesses and organizations like yours.

Together, we can achieve even greater impact by reaching many more residents, expanding educational programs for students in our school districts, and strengthening our role as a place where all can learn local history and share their unique cultural experiences.

This is the passion our staff and dedicated volunteers bring to the work we do every day.

Embrace this opportunity to become a Business Member and be a driving force for positive change. With a modest investment of just $150, your organization can demonstrate that local history matters, while enjoying exclusive benefits as our valued partner.
