Ways to Give to the Friends
About 120 men and women donate their time and talents to serving on the board of trustees, leading tours, organizing, and staffing the the Under the Dome Gift Shop.

How Your Donation is Used
When you donate to the Friends of the Vermont State House your contribution helps to maintain the State House and to preserve and interpret its historic integrity.
Your gift contributes to the ongoing conservation of the State House collection of historic art, memorabilia, and furnishings. Your gift also supports programs that promote public awareness of the building, its history, and its continuing function as Vermont’s seat of government.
Free public programs include topical events as well as State House tours specifically designed for the thousands of Vermonters and tourists who visit each year.
Whether they are students, tourists, Vermonters or international travelers, the nearly 150,000 annual visitors to the State House are warmly welcomed through the great doors by Friends’ volunteers. Adults and children alike are awed by what they see and learn there and amazed by the building’s beauty, its history, and its unique stature as a living museum.
This is your invitation to contribute to the Friends’ mission. Together we can help ensure history and meaning of Vermont’s State House continue for everyone’s appreciation.
