As reminder for all the friends and members of the Deltaville Maritime Museum (DMM) and those interested in preserving Chesapeake Bay maritime history…
the DMM maritime park is in the middle of fundraising a matching grant that gives $2 for every $1 donated. A $10 donation becomes $20.
The Mary Morton Parsons Foundation will award DMM $50,000 when $50,000 is raised as a match from donations to build at least two more sections of our planned exhibit center.
In the five months since receiving this grant challenge, DMM has raised $26,724.80 or 53.4% of the $50,000 challenge amount and have until November of this year to raise the remaining $23,000.
The Board of the Deltaville Maritime Museum is reaching out to all friends of the museum to please help us fulfill this grant and promise. This project will not only house the new Lackey engine collection and the Hawkins outboard collection but the enclosed hub will provide space for medium size events, expanding our community facilities. Please mark your donations either “parsons grant donation” or “matching grant.”
