Annual Appeal 2025–2026

We're Your Museum

Dear Friends,

As we reflect on a year filled with inspiring exhibitions, engaging programs, and growing community connections, we want to thank you for being an essential part of The Long Island Museum’s journey. Your support makes everything we do — from concerts, to lectures, to memorable exhibitions, to programs for people of all ages — possible.

As you plan your year-end giving, we ask that you consider making a gift to our Annual Appeal. These vital operating funds help us preserve and grow our collections, welcome visitors of all ages and abilities, and create meaningful experiences that spark curiosity and lifelong learning in all who visit.

Every donation — no matter the size — has a significant and lasting impact. With your generous help, we can continue to share the power of art, history, and culture with our entire community and bring them to life for our visitors.

We know that this is a time when many worthy organizations are reaching out for support. Your gift to LIM is an investment in a place that brings people together, fosters creativity and dialogue, and preserves the stories that shape our shared history. This year in particular, as arts organizations navigate a challenging funding climate, your contribution to our Annual Appeal is more important and appreciated than ever.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you to the Museum soon!

With Gratitude,

Sarah Abruzzi
