A distinct level of support.

Join Our 1818 Society

1818 Society Members are supporters of the Maria Mitchell Association who have pledged $50,000 or more of unrestricted funds over the course of five years. Members of the 1818 Society are considered a distinct group of donors in our base of support due to their generous annual contributions to our mission.

As we make progress in our project to move our Aquarium to a new location, the unrestricted operating support of 1818 Society Members is critical to achieve this project's vision.
