The purpose of the Jefferson Patterson Society is to support the museum and its programs through the financial commitment and personal involvement of Society members. Members make an annual gift of $1,300 to $5,000 while receiving a variety of benefits and exclusive privileges afforded only to our most valued supporters. Members serve as advocates for the museum in its mission to serve the community.
Society contributions are the lifeblood of the museum, enabling it to continue to provide outstanding educational programs serving more than 50,000 students annually; to present word-class special exhibitions, which attract more than 300,000 visitors each year; to care for more than 27,000 works in the museum’s nationally recognized collection; and to enhance the quality of life in Dayton and the Miami Valley.
