Before CMM can open our doors to the public we have some monumental tasks to complete. We must conduct extensive building renovations, design and install exhibits, develop programs and hire staff. To accomplish these tasks we have set the ambitious goal of raising $1 million over three years in a capital campaign for the Museum.

The 'Sailing into Port' campaign will run through March 2008. Cash gifts are the most common campaign gift and may be pledged over a two- to three-year period. Depending on your tax bracket, the net costs to you can be substantially decreased. Seemingly small amounts paid regularly over 36 months add up to a significant total.

Three-Year Pledge Monthly Quarterly Semi-Annually Annually
100 2.78 8.34 16.67 33.34
250 6.95 20.85 41.70 83.40
500 13.89 41.67 83.34 166.68
1,000 27.78 83.33 166.67 333.33
5,000 138.89 416.67 833.34 1,666.67
10,000 277.78 833.34 1,666.67 3,333.33
25,000 694.44 2,083.34 4,166.67 8,333.33

Gifts in any amount are greatly appreciated.
