Be a DONOR: Show that you care…

The Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles (HMMV) is a non-profit organization operated by volunteers and funded entirely through donations and grants. Recognized as a tax exempt 501(c)(3) Corporation by the Internal Revenue Service, HMMV generates its primary source of income from donations. 

After the construction in 1991, the Museum featured a 16,000 square foot Visitor’s Center that housed about half of the total collection of vehicles. In recent years, HMMV has doubled the size of its facility to include more vehicles and exhibits. We are now home to over 100 authentic vehicles including helicopters, tanks, halftracks, ambulances, and jeeps from every branch of service – many of which are fully-restored and operational. Vehicles date from World War II and include rarities such as a Downed Airman Retriever, one of only a handful remaining in the world. This expansion would not have been possible without many generous donations and fund-raising efforts.

The Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles also includes an extensive library for reference, utilized to achieve accurate, authentic vehicle restorations. Particular emphasis is placed on selecting correct paint schemes, preserving original insignia, and assembling proper accessories. Ongoing restoration projects onsite continue only with help from our supporters. 

Throughout the years, the Founders’ original vision has remained the same: Develop a place to honor America’s Veterans of the battlefront and home front. The Museum offers veterans a place to remember- a place where they can touch, smell, and sit in the very vehicles, which, in some cases, may have saved their lives.

Monetary Donations

Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles is a Living Museum, and many of the vehicles are ready to roll at a moment’s notice. The vehicles are available to educational groups across the region, as well as to all Veterans as tangible reminders of their sacrifice and service. The Museum’s founders have always felt this should be a memorial “from the people, to the people.” Take a moment to reflect on the proud past of these authentic restorations and the men and women who served with them. It is hoped you will answer the call to help this important project with your dollars and your support.

Online donations are accepted. For other methods of donation, please contact us directly and we will be glad to discuss alternative options. You may donate on behalf of a business, organization, or in memory, honor, or tribute to a special person or occasion. Recurring gifts are greatly appreciated. Employer matched gifts are welcomed.
