Support CoVa Museums & Nonprofits
The Museums and nonprofits in Hampton Roads are a big part of what makes this truly area special. Coastal Virginia has a fascinating history, showcased and brought to life through these cultural institutions and educational experiences throughout the region. With temporary closures throughout the commonwealth of Virginia, museums and nonprofits need our help more than ever! The nonprofits in Coastal Virginia operate with lean budgets and help of support from the public through visitation and donations.
Spring is typically the time of year when many attractions host fundraising events, book field trips, and unveil new exhibits and educational programs. Other secondary revenue streams like facility rentals (weddings) and gift shop sales are being impacted as well.
Museums and nonprofits are doing the best they can right now, and still providing amazing resources to our community through online educational resources, virtual tours, and special social media programming. You can help keep them going now so they are able to thrive when open again. Whether you’re donating money, or just sharing their content on social media, please keep these local treasures top-of-mind.
Here’s How You Can Help:
- Buy a Membership (for yourself or for a friend!)
- Make a donation
- Write a review on Google or Facebook
