As you are aware, federal funding is in a precarious place right now. While Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area is a private nonprofit, a large majority of our funding comes from the federal government. With this Halfway to Giving Tuesday campaign, you have the power to help keep the stories of courage, conflict, and the quest for freedom alive while we navigate this period of delayed and frozen funding.
At Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area, we work with historic sites, museums, and Civil War battlefields to preserve and share the powerful history of the Missouri-Kansas border region—from the struggles to carve out a living on the frontier to the civil rights movements that changed our nation.
With your support, we:
- Fund student fieldtrips and equip teachers with tools that take history beyond the textbook
- Empower local museums and historic sites to share their stories with residents and visitors
- Preserve the history of historic homes and artifacts that illustrate our nation’s values
- Give voice to the untold stories of tribes, pioneers, freedom seekers, and changemakers
- Encourage the tourism that turns outside dollars into local revenue
Your tax-deductible donation directly supports more than 200 museums, battle sites, and historic locations across 41 counties in Kansas and Missouri—making history accessible, engaging, and real for everyone. We would be thrilled to have you partner with us to protect and promote these sites and stories!
