Gifts of Membership

We all have the person who “has everything” on our Holiday shopping lists. Gifts of Membership help local institutions, allow opportunities for social and civic engagement, and won’t get stuffed in the back of the closet to be forgotten. Here is a list of some local institutions and businesses that offer membership opportunities.

Riverside Art Museum and the Cheech
RAM membership allows admission to both the RAM and the Cheech museums, as well as perks, privileges, and invitations to member-only events.

Riverside Philharmonic
Membership includes admission to the member and a friend to all of the Philharmonic events as well as access to special events and meetings.

Fox Foundation
The Fox Foundation supports The Fox Theatre, and membership includes access to events at the Fox and special members-only perks.

Mission Inn Foundation
Membership at the Foundation starts at only $60 per year, and perks at higher levels include private tours and invitations to meetings and special events.

Old Riverside Foundation
This isn’t a club for senior citizens. The Old Riverside Foundation advocates for the preservation and restoration of our city’s historic buildings. Membership helps identify and fund prospective projects and gives access to meetings and events. Some membership tiers include admission to the annual Vintage home tour, one of the hottest tickets in town.

Riverside Historical Society
RHS is committed to telling the story of our incredible city. Membership includes a copy of their annual journal and invitations to their meetings. If there is a history buff in your family, this is an incredible gift-giving opportunity.

Castle Park
This one is a little different. For less than $10 a month, you can access all of the rides, attractions, and mini-golf Castle Park has to offer. This includes the water park during the warmer months. Annual memberships also include discounts at in-park food vendors and monthly member appreciation events.

Downtowne Bookstore
More than your typical bookstore club card, membership at the Downtowne Bookstore includes access to events and book clubs. There is an incredible community emerging around the shop, and the owner, Dr. Bullock, is committed to creating a space for bibliophiles to gather and engage.
