DONATE

The Battleship Texas Foundation could not restore and maintain the Battleship Texas without the generous support of our donors. Our efforts are less about raising money – and more about preserving a piece of history for current and future generations. Your generous donations will provide people with a hands-on experience with this symbol of freedom. All donations are tax deductible, and they go to fund projects such as:

Replacing the on-board AC system to provide cooling to several more areas of the ship.
Operating and organizing educational tours, such as the Overnight Program

There are several ways to donate to the ship. You can make a direct monetary donation by filling out the form below. You can find more information about donating an artifact by clicking here. You can also shop our store by viewing our available items below, as these items have built-in donations to their overall price.
