Preserve a Place That Matters.
Donate to the NCHM!
As an 1856 Austin Greek Revival landmark, the Neill-Cochran House Museum is a place that matters. Your gifts propel the Museum forward in our quest to share the stories of Texas and Austin. As one of the oldest sites in Austin, with the only still-existing slave quarters in the city, we welcome your support in making history relevant for today. Please donate to the Neill-Cochran House Museum Annual Fund today.

Sponsor Museum Programs
The Neill-Cochran House Museum offers unique sponsorship opportunities to reach a local demographic of residents who are civic-minded and share a deep pride in Austin and Texas. We invite you to partner with us to engage this group and build professional relationships.
Businesses are invited to sponsor our programming, events, exhibitions and lecture series. Your company partnership will enhance promotion, drive attendance and broaden marketing reach, to create a connection between our audience and your products. Feel good knowing that your company is supporting a place for local citizens to build civic and Texas pride.
We are seeking sponsors for the 2025-2026 season. Contact Development Officer Cristina Feldott, cfeldott@nchmuseum.org for details:
Volunteer Opportunities
We have an ongoing need for volunteer ambassadors to welcome and orient patrons during regular hours and special events. While there is no minimum commitment, we recommend that volunteers be able to set aside at least one afternoon (three hours) each month.
Prefer to work behind the scenes? We often have needs for volunteers to help with organizing files or supplies and preparing large mailings.
Make Your Mark With the Legacy Society
As you reflect on how you will leave your mark, we invite you to consider the Legacy Society of the NSCDA-TX, which supports the work and preservation of the Neill-Cochran House Museum. Your gift will protect, maintain, and sustain the future of the Neill-Cochran House Museum, assuring those stories continue to be shared with future generations. Designating the NSCDA-TX as a beneficiary in your estate plan, adding a codicil to your existing will, or simply making a significant outright gift during your lifetime will make you eligible for membership. One of the most joyful moments in life is investing in something you believe in, especially when our giving affects the lives of generations to come.
