firewall memorials and honor gifts
Ensuring a Future for the Past
The Denver Firefighters Museum is excited to share a virtual Firewall on the museum's website. The Firewall allows us to provide you with a prominent space to make a gift to the museum in someone's name. Your donation helps to maintain, preserve, and interpret the buildings and exhibits at the museum. Additionally these donations help provide funding for educational programs to bring life-saving fire safety education to the public, particularly children. The physical Firewall at the museum can be found on the landing of the center staircase.
A memorial gift made to the museum is a testimonial to the meaningfulness of a life that has passed on. An honor gift is a loving way to remember someone still living or a special occasion.

How to Make a Gift

This may include the family of the deceased, or the person being honored, informing them of your kindness. This acknowledgement will show the name of the person being memorialized or honored and the name of the donor(s). The amount of the gift is kept confidential.
