Cheyenne Club

Donors who contribute $1,000 annually toward any area in the Museum are included in this honorary club. Contributions include annual giving, endowment, estate gifts, Museum membership, art purchases, and honorariums or memorials. Cheyenne Club members are recognized in the Museum’s Annual Report, Stageline, in the galleries on the Wall of Honor, and honored at special events.

​

Museum Purchase Program

The Museum Purchase Program began with the Cheyenne Frontier Days Western Art Show and Sale during the summertime in 1981. The desire was to build a permanent Western Art Collection for the Museum that also supports the art shows. Through this program, businesses and individuals are encouraged to purchase a selection from the show as a donation to the Museum’s permanent collection.

 

The permanent collection has expanded from what is now known as the “Traditional Museum Purchase Collection” to include the “Contemporary Museum Purchase Program” which supports the Western Spirit Art Show and Sale and is held in the springtime.

 

All of the art in the Museum Purchase Collection has been purchased through either the Western Spirit Art Show or Sale or through the CFD Western Art Show and Sale.

 

The CFD Old West Museum’s Art Collecting Policy states “The CFD Old West Museum collects art inspired by life of yesterday and today of the High Plains and the Rocky Mountain West.”

​

Email Lonnie Reese if you would like to become a purchaser.

​

Endowment Fund

The Museum’s Endowment Fund was developed in 2001. Contributions consist of a one-time pledge of $10,000 to be paid in one lump sum or over the course of ten years. As this is an endowment, the principal remains intact in a restricted account, with the Museum only using the income to fund general operations including arts, exhibits, education, and children’s programs.

​

Email Lonnie Reese for more information.

​

Legacy Giving

Multiple options are available for your planned giving. Your estate planning can become your lasting legacy for the Museum. Whether you need immediate income tax deductions or long term benefits, the CFD Old West Museum will work with you to design a charitable giving plan.
