Dear Esteemed Supporters,

Warm greetings to you! The Sandy Spring Slave Museum and African Art Gallery. Inc stands as a beacon, tirelessly illuminating the rich tapestry of African American history, culture, and contributions within the heart of the Sandy Spring community.

Your steadfast support has enabled us to reach new heights, fostering educational and cultural programs that empower both children and adults. Through exhibits, speaker series, and interactive technology, we've bridged knowledge gaps, leaving an indelible mark on the minds of K-12 students across multiple schools, inclusive of public, private, charter and homeschool.

Our Youth Advisory Committee, a diverse group of students, guides our vision and fuels our commitment to youth activities and educational events. Together, we've celebrated the legacies of heroes, established alliances with community partners, and completed our starship effort—the African-American Heritage programs and panels.

Now, as we look toward the future, we turn to you, our cherished patrons, with a humble request. The Sandy Spring Slave Museum and African Art Gallery, Inc. is 100% volunteer-operated and managed. Your contributions, big or small, will ensure our continued mission to enlighten, memorialize, and inform. We have doubled our patronage in the past year and we invite you to be a part of this transformative journey. We are proud to share that we have welcomed over 2,000 visitors over the past year.

Your generosity is a lifeline, keeping the lights on, supporting vital programming, and helping us elevate the contributions and legacies of Blacks worldwide. Remember, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your contribution is fully tax-deductible.

Can we count on your support? Together, let us continue this labor of love and preserve the invaluable history we hold dear. Your contribution will make a lasting difference.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Ms. Sandi Williams, Co-Director
Dr. Troy Boddy, Co-Director
