Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to commemorate a special occasion or pay tribute to a family member, friend, or loved one. These tax-deductible gifts not only provide an alternative way to celebrate or remember someone special, they also help fund the fort’s ongoing missions. Honor or Memorial gifts to Fort Concho may be designated for a specific project, exhibit, or program.
Gifts made to Fort Concho will be recognized on the fort’s Facebook page and website periodically throughout the year. Acknowledgments will be sent to the donors and the people they so designate.
San Angelo Gives is a powerful 24-hour, online giving event that reinforces the value of local philanthropic giving and community engagement.

San Angelo Gives is one day to give as one.
Fort Concho has taken part in San Angelo Gives since 2015. The contributions made to Fort Concho during the fundraising event are allocated to specific projects, programs, or improvements at the site.

Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, Fort Concho received $2,000,000 to reconstruct both Barracks and Mess Halls 3 & 4. These structures will be rebuilt on their original site and fill out the Barracks Row for the first time in more than 100 years!
Preliminary plans have been created. The City is reviewing plans for this project that will be funded by the generous unanimous donation that is currently housed in the San Angelo Area Foundation. The project committee may be seeking additional funds for this wonderful facility that will house a special research collection and other fort library/archives materials. We have a goal to break ground in the late spring of 2021.
Fort Concho will be renovating its Visitor Center in Barracks 1 with big plans to expand into the adjacent Barracks 2 structure. Preliminary plans have been developed. The fort will have major and minor funding opportunities that will help us complete this exciting project. The fort already has $1,000,000 in public funding through the City Half-Cent Sales Tax that was authorized by city voters. We will still need the support from other donors in order to bring this project to fruition.
If you are interested in supporting these projects, please contact the fort’s site manager at (325) 481-2730 or director@fortconcho.com.
