Donate today to help support the Alliance's mission!

To inspire appreciation for and citizen stewardship of the Valley Forge National Historical Park.

Great parks reflect the loyalty and support of their members, donors and community residents. We depend on people like you, who understand and respect Valley Forge's historical relevance, natural beauty, and extensive community. We are deeply appreciative of any assistance you are able to provide.

Annual Fund gifts are 100% tax-deductible and provide unrestricted support for public programs, educational outreach in addition to park-wide restoration, preservation, and conservation projects.

Please note that these gifts are unrestricted, general operating support. If you were looking to designate a gift to the Maurice Stephens House Capital Campaign, you'll find information here.

Consider making a Tribute Gift!

A Tribute Gift to the Valley Forge Park Alliance is a thoughtful way to honor family or friends, celebrate a special occasion, or express sympathy for the loss of a loved one. Tribute Gifts support the Annual Fund (unless otherwise designated by the individual/family being honored). At checkout, you will see the option to mark your gift as a tribute.

Additional Ways to Give

Matching Gifts: Multiply the impact of your contribution by obtaining an Employee Matching Gift Form from your employer. When combined with your generous donation, these gifts can double or triple resources to support the Park. To check to see if your company does a matching gift program, click here.

In-Kind Gifts: Your generous contribution will be recognized online and at events as they apply to your in-kind gift. Opportunities include food donations for special events, professional printing of promotional materials, retail and outdoor activity products, travel, and more for our annual fundraisers. Please contact us to discuss possibilities: info@vfparkalliance.org.

Stock and Securities: Gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, or mutual funds held for more than one year) are easy to make and may provide a greater tax benefit than an equivalent cash gift. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the donated asset. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid any capital gains on the appreciation.

If you are interested in making a gift of stock, you or your broker should contact the Valley Forge Park Alliance at 610-783-1777 or email us. Each inquiry is handled confidentially and does not imply obligation to participate.
