Society of the American Spirit
The Road to Victory Capital Campaign launched in 2004 and reached its successful conclusion in 2023, with more than $420 million raised in support of the Museum’s campus expansion project. Thanks to the generous support from Society of the American Spirit donors who have contributed to our Capital Campaign, the Museum has quadrupled the size of the original campus and raised endowment funding for future educational programs, research, collections, and exhibitions.
