When the 2025 KMA Conference kicks off November 19-21 in Great Bend, you have the opportunity to give back and make a difference in the lives of fellow museum staff and volunteers and their museums by supporting KMA's fundraising efforts. Please consider donating items to our Silent or Live Auctions, or donating a centerpiece and table setting gifts for our Setting the Tables program that will be used to decorate for our Annual Dinner and then raffled off during the Live Auction. The funds raised help support the KMA Grant program, which provides small grants to museums for projects to move them forward, and KMA Scholarships, including Conference Scholarships awarded to help those who need funding to attend the annual conference and Cheryl Collins Legacy Scholarships which provide professional development funds to help provide training to museum staff and volunteers.
Not interested in physical donations? There are opportunities to donate money through our Take a Seat tickets and Setting the Tables raffle, by bidding at the Silent or Live Auctions, or by joining the High 5 or 1 Up Club at the conference.
For more information on KMA fundraising programs, including photo galleries of the types of items to donate to the Silent and Live Auctions and examples of table centerpieces from previous conferences, check out the links below. For questions about the Silent or Live Auctions or to volunteer to provide a centerpiece and table setting gifts for Setting the Tables, please contact Marla Day and Elizabeth Seaton. Space for Setting the Tables is limited; sign up today!
