The Pasadena Museum of History is an independent nonprofit cultural institution funded by generous gifts from foundations, corporations, businesses, individuals, and our members. As a Museum Member, you play a vital role in supporting programs that preserve and share our community's rich history, art, and culture. In addition, Museum membership offers significant benefits to you, your family, and friends.

Download a Membership Application or request one by calling the Museum at 626.577.1660, ext. 11 or emailing membership@pasadenahistory.org. Membership fees are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Teachers can register as a Visiting Educator and get a year of free admission for two to the Fenyes Mansion and all History Center exhibitions.

$25 FROM YOU CAN MEAN AN ADDITIONAL $100 to $300 FOR PMH!!!

Thanks to a generous membership matching grant from the Paloheimo Foundation, the Museum receives $100 for every member who renews at the Sponsor level or higher.  Once we reach our membership levels from 2007, the Foundation increases their donation to $300 per membership!

Please consider upgrading your membership today!

We would like to offer our Active and Friend level members the opportunity to upgrade to the Sponsor level at the special price of $100.  If you choose to upgrade, we will extend your membership expiration date so that you receive a full year of benefits at your new level.  All you have to do it pay the difference between the price of a Sponsor level membership and what you already paid in membership dues this year.

This means if you are an Active member, you can upgrade for just $50, and if you are a Friend member just send $25!

Corporate Matching Gifts
A Corporate Matching Gift is a great way to increase the impact of your personal contribution to the Pasadena Museum of History. Many American corporations and firms will match donations to nonprofit organizations made by their employees, retirees, and their spouses, widows or widowers.

To have your donation matched, ask your employer for a matching gift form, fill it out, and attach it to your membership application.
