Funding for our program
The program receives no funding from State or Federal agencies, nor does it receive funding from the national "A Better Chance" organization.
So all the funds are raised from the local community. The annual budget is about $85,000 per year Currently there are three principal ways in which this is raised:
● An annual appeal letter, sent to town residents usually in late November
(about 25%). The 2008 letter is available here.
● The Secret Garden Tour, usually held the 2nd Saturday of June. (about
15%).
● Support from the Hole in the Wall thrift shop on Boston Street. (about 40%)
Additionally we receive funds from Guilford Community Fund, local churches, some local businesses, from alumni and other generous donors.
Please respond to our mailing, enjoy the garden tour, and shop and donate at Hole in the Wall !
Of course you can donate at any time. Send your donation to our Treasurer at PO Box 140, Guilford CT 06437. Or donate on-line using the Paypal link below - just click "Donate" .
Thank you.
