I Give an extra $40!

The IG40 campaign is a unique fundraising initiative that began the celebrations of Historic Wilmington Foundation's 40th Anniversary year in 2006.

IG40 is shorthand for I Give (an extra) $40 a Year in a new donation. The campaign was announced and opened at our Annual Meeting in January 2006 and has raised over $3000 so far. The decal you receive for your donation
shows your support for local preservation projects.

The concept for the campaign is to raise new money for a small number of very specific community outreach programs designed to give HWF maximum impact in our service area, to generate goodwill, and to facilitate new preservation efforts. The programs that will directly benefit from IG40 include a preservation grants initiative, the Repair Affair program, and a design assistance program for downtown commercial buildings.

Each effort has a separate budget and operational criteria, and programs will not be implemented until sufficient monies are generated. Members and supporters can clearly see the impact of contributions to this campaign. If only half of our membership gave us $40.00 this year we would generate more than $10,000 and, if we dream, even more donations can raise a lot of money! Historic Wilmington Foundation raised almost $1,000 during the first week of the campaign!
