"Quality of life in one's community and strategic education for the way we live our days is not a luxury. Creativity, historical perspective, interest in science, and children's dreams should not be cut back. Please consider a gift to The Grace as part of the values that remain bedrock in both tough times and good times. See you soon at The Grace."

Dr. Jesse Fletcher, President Emeritus, Hardin-Simmons University

The first ever Annual Appeal of The Grace Museum has been an incredible success!

Your support, along with a generous matching grant, enabled The Grace to raise $63,000. That means we are only $7,000 away from our $70,000 goal. For those of you who have already responded with a gift, thank you! If you have not yet made a gift to The Grace’s Annual Appeal, please consider how you can participate in this final push to reach our goal.

Your 100% tax deductible gift supports operations, including new exhibitions, care for our historic building, educational programming, and providing access to and care for our collections.

Thank you for your generosity!

Among the many reasons to show your support:

• The Grace serves a diverse population in Abilene and 22 surrounding West Texas counties with an annual attendance of 60,000.

• Thousands of school children each year visit the museum in person or by distance learning interactive programs.

• The Grace, an accredited museum, presents engaging programs and exhibitions for all ages.
