Why Give
The Battleship Texas Foundation could not restore and maintain the Battleship Texas without the generous, tax-deductible, support of our donors. Your contributions provide visitors with a hands-on experience with this symbol of freedom. All donations are tax-deductible, and they go to fund projects such as:
- On-going restoration projects on board the ship.
- Developing new educational experiences for visitors and generations to come.
- Preserving resources on board the ship and as a part of our historical collections
