Earmark your donation to a specific museum fund, or donate knowing your contribution will go directly where it is most needed.
Museum Operating Fund
All donations go to our general fund, which supports new exhibits, educational programming, and keeps the lights on for your next visit.
Rudy Kopp Archive & Library fund
Our ever-growing archive holds everything, from aircraft blueprints to signed first editions to original artwork. Keeping all these treasures stable and accessible takes time and money. We appreciate your support!
Donate Your Collection!
Do you have an artifact or collection you’d like to contribute to Kelch? History tells the story of a culture – and often, an individual. We take pride in preserving collections donated from all over the country, in all areas of aviation. Our state-of-the-art archive facility welcomes donations of aviation related books, blueprints, artworks, and more, and we are delighted to accept aircraft donations as well.
