Donate to ConSource

Donations to ConSource are tax-deductible.¹ Contributed funds help us expand, maintain, and improve the ConSource Collections, manage the large number of volunteers who proofread and cross-reference documents, increase our marketing efforts, put on special events, write grants, and improve website functionality.

In addition to our regular activities, ConSource has several special initiatives for the coming months that you can help fund:

• ConSource 2.0: new features and major technology upgrades to our current web platform, allowing ConSource to reach and retain more users.
• Papers of Madison, Hamilton, and Franklin: 96 volumes of private correspondence, official speeches, and other writings of three Framers of the U.S. Constitution.
• James Madison Legacy Award: starting in 2009, ConSource will seek each year to recognize an individual who, in the spirit of James Madison, promote continued research, discussion, and understanding of the Constitution.
• Constitution Day: ConSource was born Constitution Day in 2007 and seeks yearly to hold an event to celebrate the Constitution.
• Curriculum Development: ConSource is developing and piloting curriculum based extensively on source documents from the Constitution's history in a number of states.

"[T]he preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people."²
