Gifts to the Membership Challenge Fund are used to support the work of the Genealogy Department to help process applications and supplementals. Donations also fund educational programs such as the GEP as well as outreach through genealogy conferences.
With record numbers of applications and supplementals being submitted, support of this initiative is very important.
If the minimum donation of $500 is met in a single contribution, OR is met through continuous contributions via the Sustaining Supporter monthly giving program, then the donor is entitled to purchase the Membership Challenge pin from the DAR Insignia Store and is recognized on this virtual recognition wall.
