The Fund for HRM
The Fund for HRM: Expanding the View broadens the possibilities of what the Hudson River Museum will be in the twenty-first century, by increasing our reach, strengthening our impact, and creating relevant experiences that diverse audiences value.
The Fund provides essential support for the Museum’s continued growth and leadership. It allows us to realize our vision to be a leading cultural institution in the region, and to serve as a model of excellence to all of our patrons, welcoming them, delighting them, and creating new learning opportunities on every visit.
Having celebrated the Museum’s 100th anniversary in 2019, we have a proven record of achievement and deeply compelling programming reflective of the cultural issues of our time. The Fund for HRM allows us to continue this work and expand the views in our galleries, on our walls, and for our visitors.
For additional information please contact Masha Turchinsky, Director and CEO, at mturchinsky@hrm.org.
Endowed Professional Positions and Programs
Endowed professional positions and programs contribute substantially to the mission and vision of the HRM. An endowment for key leadership positions—including the Director and CEO; Chair, Curatorial Department; and the Assistant Director, Education—ensures that HRM can attract and retain the best museum professionals in the country. Support of programs, such as our Junior Docent teen leadership program, allows the museum to expand its impact throughout our community.

Art Collections Fund
This fund provides for the acquisitions of works of historic and contemporary American art to the collection that further reflect the diversity of our community, the issues of our times, and support local and emerging artists. Additionally, this fund supports the digitization of the collection to facilitate scholarly study, institutional loans, and ongoing preservation and conservation of significant works in the collection.
