Shop for Museums: Donate to the Ralph Stanley Museum Simply by Shopping!

The Ralph Stanley Museum recently partnered with Shop for Museums to allow you to donate a portion of your web purchases to the Museum and its activities. Best of all, it doesn't cost you anything extra! The donation is paid out of the marketing accounts of the places you shop with online.

The process is simple: navigate your web browser to our page on the Shop for Museums site; click "Select This Museum Partner And Start Shopping"; and select your category of interest for a list of cooperating sites. Find the items you want to purchase from these online stores, make your purchase, and a certain percentage of that purchase will automatically be sent to the Ralph Stanley Museum! No strings attached.

Remember, you need to start each online "shopping trip" at Shop for Museums by selecting us as your Museum Partner, but that's it!

So, when you decide to make your holiday purchases this season, consider allowing the companies you shop with to send a special donation on your behalf to the Ralph Stanley Museum & Traditional Mountain Music Center. And... be sure to let us know that you used Shop for Museums to help fund the Museum's Operating and Program accounts. They have created a wonderful program for the nonprofit community!

Take care!
