1939 SOCIETY

You can ensure that the memories of the game’s greatest moments and players are preserved by making a legacy gift as part of your estate planning.

The 1939 Society recognizes those who have committed to preserving the history of our National Pastime by including the Museum in their estate plans. Named in honor of the year the Hall of Fame opened, the 1939 Society is a group of like-minded individuals who share a passion for ensuring that baseball history is preserved for generations to come.

ENDOWMENT

Since opening its doors in 1939, the Hall has been well-managed and has operated on a break-even basis. Unlike other institutions of its stature, however, it has operated without the security of a significant endowment.

A robust endowment will preserve and build upon the foundation set by those who built this American treasure.

DONATE AN OBJECT

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum does not purchase artifacts, but relies on the generosity of all who love our National Pastime and want to share its history with others.

If you own an object, document, or photograph related to baseball’s history, the Hall of Fame wants to hear from you.

Share your baseball history with fans everywhere, now and for generations to come.
