It's the time for giving and when you become a member of AAMP's Giving Circle membership program now through year-end, your gift will be doubled -- up to $25,000!  A major contributor to AAMP is matching donations made to the museum dollar for dollar up to $25,000.  We also have a goal of increasing our number of donors by 200. If you are already a contributing member, any additional gift you give will be matched! Members help move AAMP forward into 2020 and beyond! Become a member of the Giving Circle today and have access to all that AAMP has to offer!
