Washington Museum Association

From small rural heritage museums to large art, science, and cultural institutions, museums play a vital role in every corner of Washington. They preserve our stories, spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and help our communities thrive.

At the Washington Museum Association (WaMA), our mission is to support these organizations through advocacy, professional development, statewide networking, and programs that help museums serve their communities with excellence. But we cannot do this work alone.

Your gift directly supports:

• Advocacy to ensure museums have a voice in statewide conversations
• Programs and partnerships that strengthen the entire museum ecosystem
• Opportunities for connection, collaboration, and shared learning across Washington
• Training and resources for museum staff and volunteers

 

Museums are essential to every community across Washington. Together, we can ensure that museums remain vital, resilient, and accessible for everyone. Every contribution, no matter the size, strengthens museums across our state.
