Through your support, we have the means to maintain our Headquarters Buildings and stay focused on our mission of Historic Preservation, Education and Patriotism.

“I am 1890!”
It is our honor to present the 1890 Annual Giving Circle, Class of 2021. This Class of 1,662 Daughters – more than in any previous year – are now members of an exclusive recognition society which commemorates the founding of NSDAR by acknowledging members, friends, chapters and states that donate $500 or more to the NSDAR General Fund within a calendar year. Since the founding of DAR in 1890, the General Fund, which provides immediate support for the day-to-day operations of NSDAR Headquarters, has played a crucial role in the National Society’s ability to carry out its mission.
Member contributions account for a significant percentage of the NSDAR operating budget, so giving—and giving every year—makes an enormous difference.
This year’s 1890 Annual Giving Circle membership package includes:
- Membership information outlining the benefits of attaining recognition in the 1890 Annual Giving Circle;
- Your Certificate of Membership in the 1890 Annual Giving Circle, Class of 2021; and
- A valuable coupon for research services in our DAR Library.
To help you celebrate your membership in this exclusive
recognition society, your membership package also includes:
Your personalized “I am 1890” poster declaring your commitment to continuing the business of our National Society, and
A limited-edition 1890 scarf clip to accompany the keepsake scarf I sent you last month.
