Capital Campaign
See the Campaign Brochure (pdf file)
The Goal
We are well past the halfway point of our $500,000 goal to pay off the purchase 2013 E. Genesee St., pay for the planned new lobby with an elevator, green building work, parking lot upgrade, mezzanine finishing, landscaping and additional interior and exterior improvements. The capital campaign also includes raising $50,000 as a contingency fund for needed repairs in the coming years. Our plan is to pay off the mortgage in three years.
The planned renovations will create a low-maintenance energy efficient facility. Our dream is a building that is ecologically cutting edge and has a minimal impact on the environment.
The operating costs of the building will be covered by rent from participating organizations and donations from community supporters.
Timeline
The capital campaign to raise the funds necessary to purchase and renovate the building began in October 2006. The building purchase was completed on July 20, 2007. We expect the fundraising work to continue for several years.
Internal renovations for office space have been completed. We hope to begin work on the new lobby and elevator in the fall, as well as finishing work on a mezzanine space for creative projects and storage. A landscaping plan has been approved and work will begin late in the summer.
