In this challenging economic climate, regarding charitable donations, every little bit helps, even if you can only donate a $1.00, any amount you are able to contribute would be greatly appreciated. The United States Lightship Museum is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Charitable donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Your support and commitment to preserving one of America's most unique historic landmarks, would also be valued. With your support, LV-112 can continue to educate and serve future generations as a institution of lifelong learning. Preserving this United States Historic Landmark is an important part of our nation's heritage.
You can forward your contribution electronically on our website using PayPal or if you prefer, please make your check payable to: USLM Nantucket / LV-112 and mail it to: United States Lightship Museum, Inc., P.O. Box 454, Amesbury, MA 01913. Thank you!
Our immediate goal is to raise $175,000. This amount will help us bring LV-112 back to its home port for the necessary restoration and repairs that will stabilize the ship and buy the time needed for applying for available grants and raise more funds from private donors.
Corporate sponsorships of LV-112’s restoration and preservation are also welcome. If you are interested, please e-mail: development@nantucketlightshiplv-112.org
