Ways to Give

Sponsorship

The GAHF offers multiple opportunities for sponsors to contribute to our projects. In addition to sponsorship through the Council 1000, sponsors can support specific events, exhibitions and other programs of the German-American Heritage Museum.

The Council of 1000 was established in 1987 to bring together leaders in the German American Community interested in elevating the national profile of German Americans. The Council of 1000 supports the national headquarters of the German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA as the premier organization representing Americans of German speaking ancestry. Today, we are the only national German American organization with a headquarters in Washington D.C.

Each year, the Council of 1000 presents the "Distinguished German-American of the Year™" Award in recognition of outstanding leadership and achievement by an American of German-speaking ancestry in business, the arts, education, science, politics, or society.

The Council of 1000 is a special donor recognition level of the German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA. You can join the Council of 1000 with your $1,000 membership contribution. As a member of the Council of 1000, you will receive a handsome lapel pin and certificate acknowledging your contribution and all our publications in addition to being invited to this and other special events each year. Council of 1000 dues qualify as charitable contributions and are tax deductible.
