Help Keep Deepwood Vibrant

Gifts to Deepwood help provide important funding to preserve the historic house, maintain the gardens and grounds, and educate the next generation.

Monetary Donations

Cash gifts are the simplest way to maximize the impact of your support for Deepwood. Donations can be made to the General Fund where they support the overall operation of the museum, or you can designate your donation to support specific areas, including gardens and grounds, house and collections, or educational programs. You can also make your gift in honor or in memory of someone.

Gifts of Art and Artifacts

Friends of Deepwood is a collecting organization that furnishes the historic house museum and displays exhibits relating to Deepwood and local Salem history. We are currently focusing on collecting original items that belonged to the families that resided in the home and high quality antique furniture from the Victorian and Edwardian eras in excellent condition.

In-Kind Gifts

You can support Deepwood with in-kind donations such as silent auction items (gift certificates, food, and wine), services such as advertising or printing, and tangible items such as office furniture and computer equipment.

Estate and Planned Gifts

There are many ways you can contribute to Deepwood, leave a vital legacy for our shared future, and ensure that your generosity will live beyond your lifetime. Whether you make a commitment through your will, living trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, or a charitable remainder trust, your gift will ensure that Deepwood remains the Heart of Historic Salem.

Endowment Gifts

Deepwood’s endowment was initiated by a generous donation from Conrad and Muriel Stieber and invested with the Oregon Community Foundation. It was created to provide a permanent source of operating income for the museum. Gifts to the endowment account will be added to the principal and held in perpetuity with the income generated from the investment used to support exhibitions, programs, and long-term preservation efforts.

Donation Requests

Deepwood is always willing to help out our local community. Deepwood will happily mail a Family-Dual Membership Gift Certificate (with promotional materials) to requesting non-profit organizations. Donation Requests must be made a minimum of 60 days prior to the fundraising event, and are mailed out monthly. Eligible non-profit organizations can mail a donation request to: 1116 Mission Street SE, Salem OR 97302. Contact Us if you have any questions.


Friends of Deepwood is a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit.
