Help Us Save Dunnington Mansion - A Call to Action

www.gofundme.c...
The Dunnington Mansion Foundation, a historic preservation nonprofit, has worked for years to save the history of the beautiful Dunnington Mansion. After two years of being declined the opportunity to acquire the mansion and start restoration, we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to accomplish this!
We need the support of everyone who cares about America’s historic places and wants to see them saved for future generations. As a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to preserving our local heritage, we are thrilled at the prospect of restoring this historic gem and rehabilitating it into a multi-use event and community center.
We are launching a multi-wave campaign to raise funds for purchasing the property and starting the stabilization process. If we fail to raise the required funds, or do not raise them quickly enough, the fate of the mansion will likely fall to residential developers. Our goal is not only to save the mansion, but to safeguard its history!
Please donate today and help us save America's historic places!!

The DMF Board of Directors fully understands the ethical responsibilities involved with donations from the public. We have voted on a novel plan that if we don't reach our fundraising goal, or the mansion is sold to developers before we raise enough funds, donations will still make a meaningful difference. Some will be applied to help stop the water damage and stabilize the structure and the remaining funds will be donated to three outstanding local nonprofits, each dedicated to impactful community work.
