Join the Tenement Museum on YouTube Live for our Gala program, A City of Im/migrants: Holding Up the Torch. We will be streaming live from City Winery in New York City for audiences around the country to enjoy the celebration!

We hope you will tune into this special program to pay tribute to the rich diversity of people, cultures, and histories that help build and sustain a global city like New York. This year's Gala will honor three of the Museum's leadership friends and partners:

Founder's Award: Andrew Berkman, Tenement Museum Trustee and real estate attorney
Gina Manuel Award: Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, President of the Mellon Foundation, renowned poet, and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist
Holding Up the Torch Award: Muzaffar Chishti, Senior Fellow at the non-partisan Migration Policy Institute

All are welcome to register to watch the Gala livestream! While no fee is required, this is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year, so making a donation on top of your registration directly support the Tenement Museum's work. Certain donation levels come with benefits like Russ & Daughters gift baskets!

If you would like to make an additional donation by check, donor-advised fund (DAF) or another method, please register online and complete and return this form to Ian Patrick, ipatrick@tenement.org

You can also buy tickets to the in-person event here.

Thank you for supporting the 2025 Gala and the Museum's mission to build a more inclusive and expansive American society.

Note: By covering the cost of credit card fees, you increase the impact of your gift as 100% of your contribution goes to the Tenement Museum. Adding a tip is separate and completely optional; these proceeds support the donation processor, Givebutter.
