Financial support is crucial to the survival of IHSF. The Foundation does not accept government-related funds and, consequently, is totally dependent upon private donations. Gifts of cash, stocks, real-estate and re-saleable goods underwrite the Endowment, expand the archival facility, fund research projects, process collections and support publications. Your donation can make a significant contribution to historical research and your gift is tax-deductible.

The Institute relies on a cadre of skilled and dedicated volunteers to perform all manner of archival activities. These may include building databases of collections, digitizing images for our website, typing transcriptions, providing IT support and assisting with general maintenance.

However, a significant amount of operating expenses are incured to maintain the archive in its current state. These include utilities (electric, water, gas, telephone, internet service), insurance, building maintenance and repairs and office/computer supplies. While we do perform some ancillary services that generate some income, these fall far short of the total annual operating expenses. In fact, they only cover approximately one third of the total annual expense budget. It is through the generous donations of our many supporters and benefactors that the Institute can realize its vision and mission.

 

IHSF is an educational, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.
