The Mayflower Society depends on the generosity and support of our members and friends around the world to carry out our mission. We invite you to help us continue reaching out to share the principles of civil and religious liberty that the Mayflower Pilgrims brought to America and to tell their story — a legacy that means so much to us and to future generations.
You may wish to make an unrestricted gift to help the General Society with our most urgent projects, or you may choose to donate to a Special Project.
An unrestricted gift to our General Fund typically provides aid to our most urgent projects. In the past, our unrestricted funds have contributed to additional Mayflower Lineage Match staff and matching grant costs for our Feasibility Study of the Mayflower Society campus. Giving an unrestricted gift and supporting our operating facilities truly provides the foundation our Society needs to uphold our mission and values.

Additional Society Projects
Garden Walkway
The Mayflower Society established the Garden Walkway located in the Colonial Revival Garden as a Fundraising Project in 2011. Since then, there have been over 600 engraved, donated bricks installed. We encourage members and friends to place a brick in the walkway to celebrate, honor or remember their families.
Mayflower Society House
Gifts toward the Mayflower Society House help preserve, protect and interpret The Mayflower Society House property, the Research Center, its surrounding gardens and a sizeable collection of decorative arts, antiques and artifacts of significance not only relating to the Pilgrims, but to the historic town of Plymouth.
Governor General’s 1620 Club
The Governor General’s 1620 Club Membership is a designation given to The Mayflower Society’s donors who give at the level of $1,620 or more per year. These donations are designated for special projects that would not otherwise be supported.
1620 Club donors receive an exclusive 1620 Club pin, and an invitation for two to the Governor Geral’s annual tour, followed by the 1620 Club Banquet.
