Become a Tenderloin Museum Member: Show Your Love of Our Neighborhood!
As a member of the Tenderloin Museum, you’ll be joining a community of allies who care deeply about our neighborhood. From the heart of the Tenderloin, our dedicated staff and volunteers uncover and preserve important San Francisco history, present affordable artistic and educational programming, and encourage a more cohesive, resilient, and successful community. Year after year, our members play a critical role in supporting this work.
If you become a member at the Friend to Outsiders, Neighborhood Pillar, Advocate for Equality, Local Landmark, or Tenderloin Pioneer levels, you instantaneously join North American Reciprocal Museum Association (NARM), an affiliation of almost 900 arts, historical, and cultural institutions across North America. https://narmassociation.org/map.
