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.
We set a goal of $10,000 and you can donate by going here:
