Our Guiding Principles
-
We believe that helping people be life-long learners is important for health and longevity, that is why we fundraise to provide enhanced, hands-on, learning experiences year round.
-
Preservation: We fund the ongoing care and acquisition of historically relevant artifacts and books for research. Additionally, we fund rotating exhibits at Fort Nisqually to ensure that the over 1,700 artifacts we have are able to be interpreted and viewed by our visitors.
-
Scholarship: We recognize that not every family has the ability to pay for a field trip for their students. We strive to eradicate barriers to access, we have created a scholarship program and funded over 800 students this year alone to attend an educational tour of Fort Nisqually.
