Help Us Keep Scottish Heritage Alive for Future Generations
Every scholarship awarded, concert performed, and historic site preserved is made possible by generous donors like you. When you support the Learned Kindred of Currie, you’re helping us pass on centuries of tradition to future generations and continue the vital work of cultural preservation — from nurturing young Celtic artists to creating meaningful connections within the Scottish diaspora worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes! The Clan Currie Society is registered in the United States as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Do you accept donations from outside the United States?
Yes, we welcome support from our global family. You can give through PayPal or via credit card, though tax-deductibility may vary by country.
How will I know my donation was received?
You’ll receive an email confirmation for online donations. For cheque donations, we’ll send a thank-you letter that serves as your tax receipt.
Can I specify how my donation is used?
Absolutely. When making your donation, you can indicate if you’d like it directed toward a specific program like scholarships, cultural programming, or heritage preservation.
Why doesn't the Clan Currie Society charge a membership fee?
We could, but we believe family membership is granted by birthright or affiliation. You can’t charge an individual to be a member of a family. Preserving and sharing Scottish heritage should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. As a nonprofit organization, we’re committed to building a global community united by our shared passion for Celtic culture and the MacMhuirich bardic tradition.
Free membership allows us to reach more people who are interested in Scottish heritage and keep them informed about our cultural programs, events, and educational initiatives in a timely way. Our goal is to foster connections and spread knowledge, not create financial barriers.
Instead of charging membership fees, we rely on individual donations, fundraising events like The Pipes of Christmas, and partnerships with cultural institutions to support our scholarship programs, heritage preservation efforts, and community outreach activities. This approach allows us to focus on our mission while building an inclusive, worldwide family of supporters.
How can I include the Learned Kindred of Currie in my estate planning?
We’re honored when supporters choose to include us in their wills or estate plans. Legacy gifts help ensure Scottish heritage preservation continues for future generations. Reach out any time to discuss options like bequests, charitable remainder trusts, or creating a named scholarship fund.
How can I make a donation in someone's memory?
It’s a privilege to help you honor your loved one’s memory. Please contact us directly and we’ll help you set up a memorial gift. We can notify the family of your thoughtful tribute while keeping the donation amount private.
