The San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACAM) capital campaign is more than a fundraising effort—it's an investment in preserving the history, culture, and contributions of African American communities in San Antonio for future generations. Your support empowers SAAACAM to enhance its facilities, expand its collections, and create innovative programs that inspire, educate, and connect our community. Through a capital campaign, nonprofits like SAAACAM raise the vital resources needed for facility upgrades, exhibit expansions, and new program initiatives that have long-lasting impacts on the community.
Capital campaigns are most effective when they combine support from both major donors and the community, making every contribution significant in reaching the goal and building momentum. Typically, more than half of the target is raised during the quiet phase, which establishes foundational support and sets the stage for public engagement. Each donation to SAAACAM reinforces the mission and helps expand the museum’s capacity to serve and inspire people in meaningful ways.
By contributing, you are not just supporting a campaign; you are becoming a part of a legacy, one that celebrates African American heritage and empowers SAAACAM to continue advocating for cultural preservation and community growth.
