Everyday Giving
We have reduced expenses wherever we could. Our professional staff is now just ten key workers, backed by an incredible team of volunteers and a very supportive Board of Trustees. So this year more than ever, we need your help.
Contributions from our community and car lovers worldwide made this Museum possible back in 1989. Since then, we have consistently ranked as one of the Top Three “Things to Do in Reno.” Our Museum is known nationally and internationally as one of the country’s Top Ten automobile collections, with many one-of-a-kind vehicles. Please help us preserve our great local asset and allow us to maintain our high standards by again pledging your support at whatever level you can afford.
Thank you for your support!

Donate a Car
The National Automobile Museum has built its automobile and artifacts collection through the generous contributions of many thoughtful collectors. These donations have allowed our visitors to make lasting memories and enjoy one-of-a-kind automotive experiences. If you would like to share a vehicle or object to expand our collection, please consider a donation. Please contact Kathy Powers, the Museum’s Curator, to discuss your options.










Planned Giving
We recognize that this is a very sensitive topic that deserves care and consideration for planned gifts and donations of stock and mutual funds. Please contact Phil MacDougall, the Museum’s President and Executive Director, to discuss your options.
