The Washington Conservation Guild is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of conservation professionals dedicated to preserving art and historic materials. We provide a regional forum for our members and a resource for the public to learn about the care of personal collections.
All donations are tax deductible.
Donate to the General Fund
Donations to the General Fund are used for WCG’s operating expenses.
Donate to the Williston Memorial Fund
The eponymous fund was started to honor the contributions of Sidney Williston and it is used to support our emerging professionals. In past years, this has been used to waive membership fees for recipients and provide them the opportunity to present their work at a dedicated meeting. Depending on the amount of annual donations, we hope to offer these new conservators other benefits such as defraying the cost of attending workshops, participating in meetings outside the DMV, or registrations for annual conferences.

Become a Sponsor
We offer a range of sponsorship levels that will allow you to advertise on our website, social media, and at our meetings. Besides the new sponsorship levels, WCG hosts a sponsor reception at the annual 3-Ring Circus, where you will have the opportunity to showcase product offerings and exchange information with our members.
