Support the work of the Supreme Court Historical Society

The Supreme Court Historical Society could not function without the generosity of its members and of the individuals, law firms, foundations, and corporations which sustain its programs and services.

Projects like the Supreme Court Summer Institute for Teachers, the annual lecture series, and even this website would be impossible to undertake without private support. The Society will launch a special initiative for high school teachers in the District of Columbia Public Schools in January 2000. We are developing a special "landmark cases" website with extensive information on many of the Supreme Court cases selected by the states for inclusion in standards for teaching history and/or government. New programs like these also rely on private support..

Contributions to the society may take many forms including direct financial support, grants, in-kind gifts, and bequests. Donors may designate the purpose for which a gift must be spent. Gifts to assist the Society meet its general operating budget are always needed. In addition, the Society works closely with the Court to acquire and maintain art, antiques, artifacts, and memorabilia documenting the history of the Court for display in the public and private areas of the building.
