The ICG General Fund

Your donation to the ICG General Fund supports our current outreach activities such as conventions, on-line forums, and educational programs that benefit our members and the entire costuming community. It will also enable us to develop new programs, not currently funded by membership dues, that will make the ICG an even more valuable resource for our chapters and members. If you would like to support educational outreach to the costuming community, please make a donation.

The ICG Press Fund

Your donation to the ICG Press Fund supports the creation and publication of new books and monographs that further the mission of the ICG as a non-profit educational organization. It also enables us to encourage and support new authors to share their knowledge by writing books and monographs, and to promote its publications to the greater costuming community through publicity and placements with influencers and the media. If you would like to support the publication of new books and monographs and special publication initiatives, please make a donation.

The Pat and Peggy Kennedy Archive and Photo Gallery Fund

Your donation to the Pat and Peggy Kennedy Archive and Photo Gallery Fund supports the collection and preservation of material, and the exhibition of images in the photo galleries.

If you enjoy the archives and photo galleries, with over a quarter century of costuming history, or use them in your research, please make a donation.
