Foundation

DuPage County Historical Museum (DCHM) Foundation is a 501(c)(3) recognized by the State of Illinois. The Foundation’s primary function is to raise funds to support DCHM’s mission to educate the general public through the collection, preservation, interpretation, and exhibition of materials which document the history of DuPage County and its relationship to Illinois and the nation, and to provide local history services for historical organizations and for scholarly endeavors.
