SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION
Your support turns preservation into action. Gifts to the RV/MH Heritage Foundation help care for historic RVs and manufactured homes, safeguard photographs and archival records, maintain museum and library resources, educate visitors and researchers, honor industry achievement, and ensure this shared heritage remains accessible to future generations.
The Foundation is the nonprofit institution behind the RV/MH Hall of Fame, RV Founders Hall, Scoular Manufactured Housing Museum, Kindlund Library & Archives, historical collections, educational work, and public programs. Philanthropy helps sustain each of these responsibilities and strengthens the Foundation’s ability to steward them for the long term.
Care for historic vehicles, manufactured homes, photographs, documents, artifacts, and the institutional record entrusted to the Foundation.
Make industry history accessible to museum visitors, researchers, students, families, and future leaders while honoring the people whose work shaped both industries.
A commemorative brick gives your tribute a place in the story of the RV/MH Heritage Foundation while supporting the preservation of RV and manufactured housing history.
Card payments include the standard 4% card adjustment. The payment checkout will show the exact total before you pay.
Use your brick to recognize a person, family, company, organization, or milestone. Each line allows up to 14 characters, including spaces and punctuation. Enter the wording exactly as you would like it engraved and leave unused lines blank.
The standard 4 × 8 brick and the 8 × 8 brick without a logo allow two lines. The 8 × 8 brick with a logo allows up to three lines. For the logo option, upload your logo as a vector PDF file up to 5 MB. Export AI, EPS, or SVG artwork as a PDF with vector paths preserved; a photo or screenshot saved as a PDF is not vector artwork. Our team will review the artwork and inscription and contact you about any production questions.
Placement and installation timing are coordinated by the Foundation. Contact us if you are planning around a particular occasion.
Complete your details, then pay securely online. After this form is successfully submitted, you will continue to the SwipeSimple checkout for your selected option.
