The Bell County
Museum Endowment Fund was established as a way to
sustain the continued support of our museum. All
donations to this fund are tax deductable and will
be used solely for the support and maintenance of
the Bell County Museum. Donations may be made to
honor someone or as a gift tin the name of someone.
In that case a special cards will be sent to the
honoree and to the person in whose name the gift was
given. All who contribute to the Museum Fund,
whether as a gift, a memorial or as a simple
donation will receive a receipt for tax purposes
that will meet IRS regulations. |

We are proud of our building, but old
buildings are often in need of repair and require
continual maintenance.
This endowment fund is not intended
for current expenses, but is essential to the long term
maintenance and operational expenses incurred as well as
any emergency expenses not in our current budget.

Individual contributors
 |
Although some of the donors to the Bell
County Museum Endowment Fund have wished to remain
anonymous, several have named a person to honor or have
given gifts in the name of a particular person for a
special occasion.
We appreciate those individuals and the
corporate organizations that have
donated to the Endowment
Fund. ___________________
