For 2023 we wanted to focus our #GivingTuesday campaign on a vital part of our mission - our programs. This year we offered a busy and varied free/low-cost program schedule - can help us continue to do the same for 2023? We would like to raise $1,200; $100 for each month of programming.
This year our calendar included: - Free workshops (Rewiring, Gardening, How to Build a Relationship with your Contractor, Window Repair, Weatherization, Photo Restoration) - Tours (Mansion district, 48 Hudson, downtown tours, Dark Side of Center Square tours, Spanish-style Houses, Empire State Plaza, Lincoln in Albany, Washington Park, Cycling tours of the Erie Canal & Downtown, the Stoop Stroll) - Lectures exploring the building of the Empire State Plaza, The Mahicantuck and it's importance, Albany Exchange Neerbosch 2022 (an international program discussing architecture in Albany and the Netherlands) - The Restoration Faire - Roscoe Book Club - Our social events to focus on building community (the Warehouse Social and regular Tool Lending Library Socials) - BUILT art show and auction
We are thrilled to be able to offer such a fantastic schedule of programs, and we always want to be able to offer them free or at a low cost. By donating to our campaign you can make that happen. Thank you for your support!
As always we also want to say a huge THANK YOU this #GivingTuesday to all our supporters, volunteers, and members. Each time you share a Facebook post, take a tour, volunteer at an event, renew your membership, or tell a friend about our organization, you're making a difference.
All proceeds from #GivingTuesday will go to our annual fund, which helps us continue our mission of preserving and protecting the city’s architectural heritage. If you'd like to donate, you can do so on Facebook or through our website below.
