Support the Conference

The DC History Conference is 100% free to attend and is run by a volunteer committee. As a result, donations and sponsorships are vital to sustaining the conference from year to year. If you want to support the future of the conference, there are a few ways you can get involved!

DONATE

If you would like to make a gift of your choosing, you can donate online. Every dollar counts, and donations of all amounts are welcome and appreciated! Donations by mail can be sent to the DC History Center at 801 K St NW, Washington DC 20001, and should include their designation toward the DC History Conference.
