Volunteer your time
Volunteers are the lifeblood of any museum, public or private. Without volunteers giving of their time, most museums would fail. Tasks performed by volunteers include greeting people at the front desk, providing travel and tourist information to visitors, conducting tours, assisting with mailings and serving on committees for our annual fundraising efforts, including the Autumn Tea and the Summer Foundation Board Picnic.
Donations for special events
Many concerned individuals or local companies do not necessarily have the time to volunteer on a regular basis or the spare money to donate funds, but still find ways to help. Donations of food or catering for special events help complete our activities. Donations of talent through re-enactors, guest lecturers, programs, etc. help to recreate our history. Donations of supplies and equipment help streamline the curating and housing of collections. Donations of office equipment help us manage those collections. If you think you or your company can help with talent, materials, equipment, or supplies please call us at 605-723-1200.
Donations of funds
In order to continue to develop the museum, its programs and our collections, we actively look for creative ways to increase our revenues. If you are interested in making a financial donation to the museum, several possibilities are available:
Memorial Fund
The memorial fund is directly controlled by the City of Belle Fourche and the Museum Board. The fund consists of money collected from our donation box, direct donations from guests, and monies generated through gift shop sales and special programs. These monies are typically used for general museum-related projects.
Donations of Artifacts
The Tri-State Museum has a vast array of artifacts in our collections. These range from historical photographs, genealogical data, guns, antiques, fossils, historical documents, and other items. We encourage residents of the Tri-State area or people who have in their possession artifacts from the Tri-State region to donate items to the collections. If you would like to donate an item, please contact the director at 605-723-1200 or by email:tristatemuseum@rushmore.com. Please be aware that the museum does not provide appraisals on your donations.
Sponsor a Project Program
This program enables donors to specify exactly which exhibit or museum project they would like to sponsor. Often the donor receives credit in the form of a memorial plaque and/or press release. Recent donors have helped purchase new computer equipment, a big screen TV, and track lighting for the museum.
