Dear friends,

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global initiative to support non-profits. The Noble Maritime Collection is a non-profit museum created by the community, for the community. Small donations have always sustained us, so please know that we will put your gift of any size to the best possible use.

Our budget has been tight over the past year, but nonetheless we have accomplished a lot:

We served just over 18,000 people, inclusive of 5,000 schoolchildren of all ages and abilities.
Following the tremendous success of the Maritime Careers of New York Harbor education program, museum Director of Programs Dawn Daniels has been working on a new ethnomusicology based program called Musical Voyage Around the World, supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
We presented two new exhibitions, including Noble Industrial, a first-of-its-kind exploration of artist and sailor John A. Noble’s relationship with New York harbor in the 20th century in which he lived and worked. It will be on view through March 2.

Despite the museum's limited resources, we’re always looking to build upon the ways we educate and enrich the lives of our audience. In 2025 we have three new exhibitions planned, which I look forward to telling you more about soon. We work hard here, and I believe that our work is good work, rooted in our values to be kind, inclusive, share knowledge, and preserve history. I also believe that goodness begets goodness, so please trust that if you donate today, it’s for a good cause and we will maximize every dollar to its full potential.

If you believe in the work we are doing and are in a position to make a donation to the museum this Giving Tuesday, we would be very grateful. To make a gift in any amount, please click here.

Thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you to the museum this holiday season!

Warm regards,

Ciro Galeno, Jr.
Executive Director
