It would be great to get any support we can get from all the VCF members that visit us at Infoage, no matter the amount. Getting to the 10k goal this Month (March) would mean that InfoAge will be charged up and ready for all sorts of work and updates as the summer approaches. Next year, 2022 will be the 10 year anniversary of the Designation of Camp Evans as a National Historical Landmark. This designation ensures that the Evans area will never be sold or changed for development and will remain an open space for all of us to enjoy. But we all have to help to maintain it. You can support that work today by contributing to the GFM. Please do by giving whatever you can for this amazing space. thanks, -andy

Vintage Computer Federation has initiated a fundraiser for InfoAge operating expenses. As with many museums across the country InfoAge was hit hard by lower visitor numbers, yet the expenses keep coming. For those that don't know, VCF leases space for our museum and warehouse from InfoAge. So we are looking to help them as it benefits us and all the other museums under the InfoAge umbrella to stay in business.
Our doors stay open as a result of the volunteers' efforts, the donations made by visitors to InfoAge, as well as grants and other fundraising efforts.
As you can imagine, the long closures, limited capacity and public concerns that have come as a result of COVID-19 have seriously hurt our ability to raise money and continue to maintain and improve the Camp Evans Historical Landmark Site and the museums that occupy it's spaces.
Starting with the resident non-profits, we are pooling our resources to keep the doors to our home here at Camp Evans/InfoAge open and continue to share this wonderful place with the public. But we need your help to make it through these difficult times.
ANY donation will help make an impact.
How will your donation help? Your donations will assist InfoAge in paying for daily operating expenses (like keeping the electricity on!) repairs and maintenance and installation of new exhibits just to name a few!
Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
