Annual Endowment Appeal
Dear Members and Friends:
As you may know, building a healthy endowment is critical for the long-term health of any non-profit organization, including the Harpersfield Historical Society.
We are requesting your help in the continued growth of our endowment fund. In these days of shrinking financial support from other sectors, we are counting on the generosity of our members and friends to take up the challenge and provide HHS with a solid foundation on which to build for the future. HHS has been matching your donations from our investment interest. What this means, every dollar donated will be doubled. Last year, we were able to match all of your contributions.
All monies raised will be deposited into an endowment account. No donation is too small, and of course, no donation can ever be too Large!
Thank you for being so supportive
Thank you,
Thomas Kendall, President
The year 2024 was another excellent year for the HHS
Last year’s endowment drive was exceptional due to the kindness of all who donated. We hope this year’s drive will be as fruitful.
Our normal public hours between Memorial Day and Labor Day are on Saturdays between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. We will continue to have the museum open upon request.
We seek your assistance
