Yes, you can get involved by becoming a Friend of the Freedom Tower, sharing your story about what the Freedom Tower means to you, or by making a donation.

Your donation will help support new museum galleries occupying 36,700 square feet in the Freedom Tower. Best-in-class experience design will guide visitors through the Tower’s rich history as both a newspaper headquarters and a refugee assistance center. Housed in the “Ellis Island of the South,” these technologically advanced exhibits will allow museum-goers to reflect upon the waves of exiles that have transformed our city.
