Why Your Donation Matters?
As a nonprofit organization, the Carousel Museum depends on the generosity of individuals, families, businesses, and foundations to preserve our historic collections, provide educational programs, and keep our museum accessible to the community. Every donation—large or small—helps preserve history for future generations.
What Does It Mean to Be a Nonprofit?
The Carousel Museum is a nonprofit charitable organization. Unlike a for-profit business, a nonprofit does not distribute profits to owners or shareholders. Instead, all funds received are reinvested into our mission, including collection preservation, exhibitions, educational programming, restoration projects, and community outreach.
Are Donations Tax-Deductible?
The Carousel Museum is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are generally tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. Donors should consult their tax advisor regarding the deductibility of their contribution based on their individual circumstances.
