Since our founding in 1956, we have donated over $16.5 million to The Mint Museum and have grown from a small group of 60 women to over 600 members today. The six-decade partnership between The Mint Museum and the Auxiliary has been rich, strong, and beneficial to the Auxiliary, The Mint Museum, and the City of Charlotte.

We approve applications for membership twice a year, in September and January.  A prerequisite for membership in the Auxiliary shall be an interest in The Mint Museum and a willingness to participate in programs and projects of The Mint Museum, especially those sponsored by the Auxiliary. Active Members are encouraged to volunteer for an Auxiliary event, an Auxiliary committee or at The Mint Museum. 

Dues are $100 for Active Members.  In addition to Auxiliary annual dues, all members are expected to maintain a membership at The Mint Museum.

Please make note that the next presentation of applications for Board of Directors review will be in September 2026. We will reopen our application this summer.

If you have any other questions about joining The Mint Auxiliary, please reach out to New Member Chair, Jessica Burke.
