December 9, 2025 - Below is a message from the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum:

Thank you so much for your generous and heartfelt support! We are so grateful that you have been willing to partner with us to educate the public on how vital mining is to our past, present, and future. Your gifts will have a lasting impact on the success of our shared mission.

You have helped us raise $13,550 to date! Thank you to our Giving Tuesday donors:

Doug W., Hugh M., Steve H., Steve E., and Anonymous.

Tomorrow, December 9, is Colorado Gives Day—this is a great chance for you to make a lasting difference in our ability to continue enlightening the world about how mining impacts everyone's daily lives. Please join our cause and be a champion for educating people about how their lives would never be the same without this vital industry.

We need your support now more than ever to help us provide virtual 360-degree tours for people who cannot make it all the way up the mountain to Leadville, preserve our artifacts for future generations, and update our exhibits just to name a few of our many projects. We are extremely grateful for a 1:1 matching donation of up to $100,000 from one of our generous 2025 Hall of Fame Inductees. Together, we can reach our goal of $300,000 and create real change and impact!

Exciting Prizes!

• Donate $100 or more tomorrow and be entered to win a Southwest Airlines voucher ($400 value). One winner will be announced every hour!
• A bonus round-trip ticket will be awarded after midnight to a donor who gives $100 or more throughout the day.
• There will be Power Hours throughout the day where 15 nonprofits have a chance to win an extra $2,000. Help boost our chances by giving between the hours of:
• 7:00-8:00 a.m.
• 10:00-11:00 a.m.
• 3:00-4:00 p.m.
• 7:00-8:00 p.m.
• 10:00-11:00 p.m.

Please share our mission and cause with your family, friends, colleagues, and social media following. After making your gift, inspire others by sharing why you’re a champion of mining’s past, present, and future. Tag us on social media @nmhfm and remember generosity is contagious!

Thank you for your support, generosity, and for being a driving force behind the success of our shared mission. We couldn't do it without you!
