Monthly Donors are the Backbone of Preservation

Monthly supporters are the backbone of historic preservation. With more than 42 historic sites now under the care of the Texas Historical Commission, the need for reliable, ongoing support has never been greater. By joining our community of monthly givers, you fuel preservation projects, archeology outreach, and educational programs that reach tens of thousands of Texans every year. Recurring gifts—whether $15, $25, or even $50 a month—make it possible for us to plan, respond, and grow our statewide preservation and restoration efforts. It’s an amazing way to make a lasting impact: your dollars go further, your giving is easier, and your impact endures!

Legacy gifts go one step further, by creating a sustainable foundation for our preservation work for generations to come. By including the Friends of the THC in your estate plans, you ensure that the historic landmarks and stories we safeguard today remain part of Texas’ future. To learn more about legacy gift options, please call us at 512-936-2241 or email us at info@friendsofthethc.org

P.S. By becoming a recurring supporter, you’ll receive a special thank-you gift, exclusive content, and public recognition! Plus, you can take pride in knowing that your monthly gift brings Texas history to life for everyone.
