Share our vision for the future of the Museum as the cultural centerpiece of the community.
Not just for this year, but forever.
Planned gifts help support the Endowment Fund, which has long been the financial driver for the Museum’s budget and has allowed the institution to flourish. The principal of the Endowment Fund is invested to increase over time, and the Museum uses the income it produces to support its general operations and innovative, multidisciplinary programming. Your gift can also support the Museum of Ventura County’s general operation or be applied to particular programs or acquisitions.
