Support our Operating Budget
We also welcome, of course, unrestricted donations that go directly into our operating budget or donations that are earmarked for specific activities—like the preservation of important collections. Please keep in mind that donations do not need to be made all at once. Donations may be made in installments: a $1000 donation is only $83.33 per month for 12 months. A $6000 donation could be paid by donating $500 a month for 12 months, or by making 4 quarterly payments of $1500.
Because of our non-profit status, donations to the Stark Center can be helpful in off-setting capital gains taxes, estate taxes, and even annual income taxes if you normally take deductions. We are happy to talk about options with you.

Support the Endowment
You can choose to ask that your contribution be added to the Center’s existing endowments or, if your gift is of sufficient size, you can ask that it bear your name or be named to honor someone important to you. At present, contributions can be made to any of these pre-existing endowment accounts:
The Joe and Betty Weider Physical Culture Fund—supports the Weider Museum and the preservation of bodybuilding history.
The Clyde Rabb Littlefield Endowed Excellence Fund for the H.J. Lutcher Stark Center—supports the annual Littlefield Lecture and other general operations.
The Coach Clyde Littlefield Endowed Excellence Fund for the H.J. Lutcher Stark Center— supports general operations.
The Terry and Jan Todd Endowed Excellence Fund—supports the collections of the Center and general operations. This fund was created from the donation made in honor of our founder, Terry Todd.
The H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sport Endowed Excellence Fund—supports the general operations of the Center.
If you wish to create a new endowment, please contact Stark Center Director Jan Todd to discuss the various options available to you. Some financial gifts may also qualify for naming opportunities within The Center. We are, for example, looking for naming-level donors for the Sports Gallery, Reading Room, and Lobby areas.
