The Hilliard Society 

Will you join us as a patron and partner? As a member of The Hilliard Society, you’ll help make our mission a reality.

The Society is a nonprofit organization that conducts fundraising for the Museum. Its members are community philanthropists who generously support the Museum through annual contributions of $1,000 or more and generate additional support throughout Acadiana.

Their efforts provide a sustained and essential source of unrestricted support for special exhibitions, publications, conservation and acquisitions, as well as a variety of educational programs and focused initiatives.

These vital funds profoundly enhance our ability to engage in scholarship and research, and ensure that the Museum remains

• a social and cultural center of campus life;
  
• a nexus for continuing education among UL Lafayette's widespread alumni; and
  
• a vibrant and welcoming destination for visitors from Acadiana and beyond.

In appreciation for this important level of support, Hilliard Society members enjoy all of the benefits of membership:
