We are a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dependent upon memberships and donations. There are four types of tax-deductible donations (see below). All donations are acknowledged in the Humboldt Historian unless anonymity is requested. Please use the provided text box to let us know the fund to which you wish to donate.

  • The Spring Campaign (May-October) and Final Call Campaign (November-April), which provide general funds for running the Society.

  • Memorial Donations are given in memory of a loved one. As well as the person’s name, if you would like to have their family notified of your gift, please enter the name of a family member and their address in the text box.

  • Digitization Fund. Digitization of our collection is an ongoing priority in our work. Not only does it make information more accessible to researchers, it backs up the original documents in case of accidental destruction.

  • Tribute Donations. Want to publicly tell someone that you love or admire them? Put it in the Historian!

  • Helen Wells Barnum Legacy Circle. Helen Wells Barnum made a significant contribution to the Humboldt County Historical Society in 1993 when she donated her home to us through her estate. Now the quarters of the Society, the home reminds us of the responsibility we have to the past, the present, and the future. Through thoughtful financial planning now, you may also leave a meaningful legacy to history, and discover significant tax benefits for yourself and your family. If you would like to be part of our Legacy Circle, please call (707) 445-4342.
