This year we celebrate the
Centennial of the purchase of the Phelps Mansion in 1905. In those days it
was a monumental task for the eight women to purchase it, support it, and
then leave it for future generations to cherish. Their spirit is alive and
flourishing at the Phelps Mansion. In the past eight years we have raised
money to repair it, restore it and replicate the beautiful Mansard roof.
The last 100 years have been a proud part of our history. The Phelps
Mansion is a rich architectural and cultural legacy of the Victorian Era.
It has enriched our lives and the life of our community.
The Phelps Mansion is beautiful, but lacking funds for any emergency. To insure it's future, we have started a Phelps Mansion Preservation Fund using the Community Foundation as it's financial vehicle. Our initial goal is to raise $100,000.
When you make a gift to the Phelps Mansion Preservation Fund you are affirming your belief in the Mansion and supporting our vision for the future. You are also sending a perpetual message of your values to future generations. Sometimes, you might want to honor or memorialize someone special with a permanent tribute. In some cases, funds are used to satisfy a debt of gratitude - a way to say thank you. Wont you please make a tax deductible contribution to the Community Foundation of South Central N.Y. and designate it for the Phelps Mansion Preservation Fund. The following Donor's card gives the instructions for making a donation. |
