Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum - Match Day is here - July 21 - 31, 2026

Clear the runway - it’s time to celebrate Amelia’s birthday and YOU are invited!

BIG BIRTHDAY NEWS: In honor of Amelia Earhart’s birthday, an anonymous pledge has been made to match every gift dollar for dollar up to $5,000—which means your donation can have twice the impact! But this matching gift opportunity ends July 31^st, so please make your gift today and help Amelia’s legacy keep soaring.  Thank you so very much for your thoughtfulness with your past giving. 

Amelia’s birthday on July 24^th is more than a date on the calendar—it is a moment to celebrate a woman who launched imaginations, shattered expectations, and continues to inspire dreamers of every age to aim higher.

The Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum preserves not just a house, but a legacy. Every school group that walks through those doors, every exhibit we restore, every program we create for young visitors, it all depends on people like you who believe Amelia's story still matters.

Will you help us celebrate Amelia’s 129^th birthday with a gift that keeps her fearless spirit flying?

Please consider making a one-time birthday gift of $100, $250, $500, or any amount that feels meaningful to you. Thanks to the matching pledge, your generosity can go twice as far to preserve Amelia’s childhood home, support educational programs, restore exhibits, and keep the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum open and inspiring for the next generation of bold dreamers. 

Donations can be made through the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum website or mailed to 223 N. Terrace Street, Atchison, KS 66002.

Amelia never stopped pushing forward. With your help, neither will we.  Thank you for your consideration.

With gratitude,

Your Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum Team
