Tuesday November 30, 2021 is Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for us to reflect on and support our community. We hope that you will consider supporting the National Museum of Language (NML) on this Giving Tuesday by joining the Museum and/or donating if you are able. The National Museum of Language is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) museum dedicated to examining the history, impact, and art of language. As a non-profit, the museum is guided by its mission and is supported by members, donors, and volunteers. We are in our 8th year as a virtual museum. Donations are tax deductible!
We rely on membership dues as the principal means of financial support, so recruitment of new members is of vital importance to us. So sound out your friends and colleagues, recruit your relatives; give memberships as a birthday or holiday gift. At the holiday time, you can give your favorite teacher a membership. We also welcome your tax-deductible donations as an additional means of supporting the Museum. Use the Donate button above to pay online with secure PayPal payments (you do not have to have a PayPal account to pay with a credit card online).
In 2021, the NML brought you seven FREE virtual events, two Language Trivia Night Fundraisers, and to continue the development of resources and exhibits. Additionally, we are working on the following exhibits:
- The Power of Poetry: Resisting Injustices with Language
- A Language Cruise to Puerto Rico
- Hawaiian Language Preservation
- Language Lesson Plans
- Expansion of Language Preservation Resources on the Website
- Development of virtual field trips for K-12 students
- Developing lessons and resources for language arts and foreign/world language courses
See more of our accomplishments here.
We invite you to help sustain the Museum by becoming a member. Annual memberships are on the basis of the calendar year; you may join at any time. For the 2022 membership year, NML will retain the 2021 rates. As before, all members receive access to the Transparent Language Online language learning software, recognition as a Builder of the Museum, notification of opportunities and events as well as a monthly newsletter.
To become a member, you may join online using the “Donate” button on our website, or download the brochure and a mail-in membership application.
