As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the gifts of knowledge, connection, and community we share through our passion for genealogy. This Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2024, we invite you to join us in supporting the Wichita Genealogical Society (WGS) by making a donation to sustain and grow our programs and resources.
This year, we’re thrilled to announce a matching gift opportunity! Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, WGS will match every dollar donated for Giving Tuesday, up to $5,000. This means your contribution will have double the impact, helping us support projects that benefit both WGS members and the wider community.
Your donations this Giving Tuesday will help WGS fund a new “Memory Lab” at the Wichita Public Library! This innovative resource will allow community members to digitize personal and family history materials, such as photographs, documents, and recordings, preserving them for future generations.
In addition, your contributions will continue to support the Wichita Public Library Genealogy Department by:
-
Assisting with new acquisitions to enhance their research collections.
-
Volunteering on special projects, such as preserving historical records and making them more accessible.
Your gift is tax-deduction eligible, ensuring that your generosity not only benefits our mission but also provides a financial benefit to you as we approach the end of the year.
How to Give:
Wichita Genealogical Society P.O. Box 3705 Wichita, KS 67201-3705
Let’s come together to make this Giving Tuesday unforgettable. With your support, we can reach our $5,000 goal, unlock the matching gift, and make a lasting impact on our community.
Thank you for being part of our mission to preserve and celebrate our shared history.
