Why give through Birdies for Charity?
Birdies for Charity is one of the easiest ways to increase the impact of your gift. Every donation made to The Mark Twain House & Museum through the program goes directly to the museum, and each gift receives a 15% bonus.
That means more support for the work happening here every day, from preserving Twain’s Hartford home to expanding access to students, teachers, readers, and visitors from around the world.
Your support helps sustain the work outlined in our 2025 Year in Review and the work still ahead.
It helps us:
- preserve and interpret one of the country’s most important literary landmarks
- care for collections and the house itself
- expand educational opportunities for students and teachers
- continue public programs, author talks, exhibitions, and cultural events
- keep Mark Twain’s legacy active, relevant, and accessible
As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, this campaign offers a meaningful way to celebrate American history through one of its greatest writers. Mark Twain’s work still speaks to the country’s humor, contradictions, ideals, and civic life. Supporting his home in Hartford is one way to help preserve that story for the next generation.
