The Friends of Sheldon Jackson Museum has been supporting the Sheldon Jackson Museum for over 30 years. How we help:

  • advocacy
  • acquisitions
  • educational programming: free public programs and events, ranging from youth programs and school visits to lectures and workshops.
  • support the Native Artist Residency Program.
  • help the museum share artifacts with kids all over Alaska by purchasing items for the Sheldon Jackson Museum’s Hands-on Loan Collection, which can then be borrowed by educators to use in their classrooms.
