We are thrilled to announce that we have a match for this year's #GivingTuesday fundraiser. Kyle Neiswender (volunteer, members, and supporter) is helping to launch 2021's giving season by matching all donations over the next week (until Friday 3rd Dec).
For each dollar donated, Kyle will match your contribution up to $2,500!
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. Want to know where your dollars go? Find out here. If you'd like to donate, you can do so on Facebook or through our website below.
We are incredibly thankful to Kyle for choosing not only to donate his money, but also his time and expertise. Kyle has helped out in our Parts Warehouse and assisted us with tech at both 'A Moveable Feast', and at the Restoration Faire this year. We are a small organization, and it's because of our volunteers that we can do big things.
With that sentiment in mind, 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.
