The Paul Revere’s Ride Fund: Preparing the Next Generation of Engaged Citizens
The Concord Museum’s leading school programs offer hands-on learning experiences that ignite a life-long love of history, a strong sense of civic responsibility, and a clear understanding of how our shared past informs the present.
The Paul Revere’s Ride Fund ensures that students across Massachusetts have access to the Museum’s programs. All school groups are significantly subsidized, and our partner schools from under-resourced communities access our programs through 100% subsidized visits, including the cost of transportation. Through this fund, the Museum is helping to cover the growing gap in school curriculum.
Sponsorship Opportunities:
The Midnight Ride Celebration is the Museum’s most important fundraising event, generating nearly 70% of the annual support for the Paul Revere’s Ride Fund. Your sponsorship ensures a memorable community celebration and fuels the Museum’s exceptional education programs. Sponsorship levels range from $2,500 to $25,000, and include event tickets, recognition, and VIP perks.

Please note that the IRS prohibits using funds from charitable foundations or donor-advised funds to cover any portion of a gala ticket.
