The Sky's The Limit!
There are so many ways to contribute!
The museum thrives on your support – whether that’s time, money, or a museum-piece donation. We appreciate it all!
As a non-profit, the museum exists 100% of tax-deductible donations from folks like you.
Every dollar makes a difference! Donate today and be a part of the dream. You can earmark your funds to go towards the Rudy Kopp Memorial Archive & Library fund, the restoration of certain aircraft, and so much more. Contact us to learn more, or to offer ideas!
You can donate online using the links below, or mail a check to us at: Kelch Aviation Museum, P.O. Box 122, Brodhead, WI 53520. The Kelch Aviation Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational corporation and donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.
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.
