Annual Donors

Our donors are critical to CHM, providing flexible resources to support immediate needs, including collections, live programming, and educational programs. 

Just as magnetic-core memory was the heart of early computers, Core donors are the heart of CHM, providing the largest source of annual support. Giving levels are inspired by the standard binary sizes of computer memory.

This listing recognizes the generosity of donors who made gifts to the Museum between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025.
