Hello everyone,
 

Once again, this year the Firefighters Historical Museum will be participating in the Erie Gives Day. This year the date is August 11, 2026.
This is a great way to help financially support the Museum. The Community Foundation through its sponsors gives a prorated match for any donations the Museum receives.
 

The following are the ways in which donations may be made. I apologize for the late notice if you want to donate by check.
 

Give Online or By Phone
 

Online giving is the easiest and most convenient way to support participating nonprofits during Erie Gives.
• Give through the Erie Gives website on August 11,
2026, from midnight to midnight, or by phone at
814-454-0843, from 8am to 8pm.
• No credit card or transaction fees!
• Support one or multiple participating nonprofits with a
single transaction. There is no limit on the number of
nonprofits you can support.
• Complete your gift securely through the Erie Gives
online giving platform.
 

Give by Check
If you prefer to give by check, please review the following requirements to ensure your gift is eligible for Erie Gives.
• Checks must be made payable to The Erie Community
Foundation.
• All checks must be accompanied by the completed
Check Contribution Form.
The fillable form can be downloaded from the Erie Gives
website.
 

Checks must be mailed to:
The Erie Community Foundation
459 West 6th Street
Erie, PA 16507
 

Please note that due to safety concerns from ongoing construction, Erie Gives checks cannot be dropped off at the Foundation this year.
 

Checks and completed forms must be received by The Erie Community Foundation no later than August 4, 2026. Checks received after the deadline will not be accepted for Erie Gives.
 

Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Firefighters Historical Museum
