Double the Impact – Join our Matching Funds Donation Drive
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Summer 2023 Matching Funds Grant campaign, aimed at addressing the current need for structural renovations, roof and heating/cooling systems replacement and energy efficiency improvements at the Sandwich Glass Museum.
Our organization has secured a generous matching funds grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, meaning that every dollar donated will be matched, thereby doubling the impact of your contribution. By leveraging this opportunity, we aim to raise $140,000 to perform some vital updates to the Sandwich Glass Museum’s facilities, in order to better serve the community here in Sandwich.
We invite you to participate in this transformative initiative and help us reach our fundraising goal. Your donation, when matched dollar-for-dollar, will have an exponential impact on the preservation and maintenance efforts of the Sandwich Glass Museum.
Why Your Donation Matters
Like most small museums across the U.S., the Sandwich Glass Museum depends largely on the financial support of the community. We invite you to express your support and ensure we can continue showcasing both our vibrant glass making past and providing exhibition space for contemporary glass artists.
The Sandwich Historical Society’s Glass Museum is independently owned and operated. All operational expenses including staffing, insurance, utilities and facilities maintenance, are borne by the Sandwich Historical Society.
Your generosity will help keep this incredible art form alive!
Our Priorities
Our highest priorities this year are to sustain and grow our operations. We are undertaking major facility renovations and repairs as well as investing in programs focused on building and enhancing our community reach.
Please consider a donation to our Summer 2023 Matching Funds Donation Campaign. Your generous gift will be instantly matched dollar-for-dollar by the State of Massachusetts.
Thank you in advance for your help in reaching our fundraising goal!
