The Richard III Society is a labor of love for its all volunteer staff. Without our volunteers, we would not be able to exist. The American Branch is always looking for volunteers. This keeps the basic Society membership affordable. We rely on volunteer time and on our members' financial contributions to expand our activities.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
