Additional Distinction

For each of the five categories below, you have the option to add distinction to your donation in one of two ways:

1. In honor or memory of someone special
​Recognize a mentor or beloved colleague for their unique achievements and contributions by honoring them with your donation to the Society. ​​

2. Join the Charles F. Hummel circle
The Charles F. Hummel Circle represents the highest level of generosity to the Society and recognizes donations of $1,000 or more. It is named in honor of Charles Hummel (WPEAC 1955), who began his Winterthur career as Assistant Curator in 1958 and who currently holds the title of Curator Emeritus. Donors at this level will be recognized with special listing in the Society's Honor Roll of Donors.

​Among Mr. Hummel's many accomplishments are the establishment of the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation, the publication of numerous landmark books and articles on decorative arts, and the formation of the National Conservation Advisory Council and the National Institute for Conservation, now known as Heritage Preservation.
