The African-American Museum of Beginnings is building long-term sustainability through three complementary giving paths. Each path plays a distinct role in supporting the Museum’s mission today and for generations to come.

The Village Caller: Keeper of our Story Monthly Giving Program provides reliable, recurring support for the Museum’s day-to-day work, including education, preservation, community programming, and core operations. Monthly gifts allow the Museum to plan responsibly, respond to community needs, and reduce reliance on one-time fundraising.

Scholarship giving supports students at the University of La Verne. This gift supports young people by providing access to educational opportunities, cultural enrichment, and recognition. .
To support the Khalif and Victoria Rasshan Family Scholarship at the ULV please contact: Lucero Rojo at (909) 448-4408 or lrojo@laverne.edu

Endowment and legacy gifts are designed to ensure the long-term financial health of the Museum. Contributions to this path help preserve the Museum’s mission, collections, and programs for future generations, providing stability beyond annual fundraising cycles.
