To sustain our mission for future generations, the Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. has started a capital campaign with the goal of increasing the Society’s Endowment Funds to $10 million by July 4, 2026, the nation’s 250th Anniversary. The Society’s Endowments were established for the purpose of ensuring the preservation of our historic buildings and to support the Museum and its educational outreach efforts.

To participate in the 250th Anniversary Campaign, you can donate to either the Building Maintenance Endowment Fund, which provides essential support to enable the Society to maintain the Fraunces Tavern Museum complex, or the Museum Endowment Fund, which provides vital funding for the Museum’s programs and activities.
