The Builders Society

The Builders Society is the Museum’s premier giving circle, providing leadership support to bolster our mission. Members receive direct access to Museum leaders including the President, private guided tours, opportunities to bring family and friends for specialty programs, and invitations to attend our annual spring gala. Patrons at this level also receive all the core benefits of the President’s Circle.

Builders Society members make an annual gift starting at $10,000 in support of the Museum’s work to explore the stories of tenement residents and the centrality of their experiences to the American story.
