Become a Museum Supporter
Be Part of Something Extraordinary
The aircraft and spacecraft inside the North American Aerospace Museum (NORAM) tell remarkable stories of imagination, courage, ingenuity, and discovery. Keeping those stories alive, and using them to inspire what comes next, takes people who believe they are worth preserving.
NORAM supporters are a community of people who believe in the power of aerospace history to educate, inspire, and ignite curiosity.
When you become a supporter, you help care for historic aircraft and artifacts, create meaningful educational experiences, welcome thousands of students to the Museum, and ensure that future generations can experience the extraordinary stories found here.
What Your Giving Makes Possible
Preserving History
You protect and restore remarkable aircraft, spacecraft, artifacts, and the stories of the people behind them.
Inspiring Young Minds
You provide educational experiences that introduce young people to aviation, engineering, science, technology, and the possibilities of their own futures.
Creating Extraordinary Experiences
You bring history to life through exhibitions, restoration projects, special programs, events, and opportunities visitors simply can’t experience anywhere else.
Strengthening Our Community
You ensure the Museum is an inspiring place where families, students, veterans, aviation enthusiasts, educators, and visitors from around the world can gather, explore, and learn.
More Than a Membership
Becoming a North American Aerospace Museum supporter demonstrates your commitment to making our work possible. You seek community, not discounts. Your passion is for our mission. And you want to drive impact through your giving.
As a nonprofit organization, NORAM relies on people who share our belief that these extraordinary aircraft—and the stories, ingenuity, and history they represent—deserve to be preserved and shared.
Your Gift Has an Impact
Every aircraft has a story. Every restoration preserves a piece of history. Every student who walks through our doors has the opportunity to discover something that might change the course of their life.
NORAM supporters help make those moments possible.
Whether your passion is aviation, history, education, engineering, preservation, or simply making our community a more interesting and inspiring place, there’s a place for you here.
Join Us
Help preserve what was once thought impossible—and inspire the people who will imagine what comes next.
