Summary

The Preservation Association of Beaver Island described the Community House campaign as being in a “quiet phase” in December 2000. Its immediate objective was to identify a lead donor, multi-year pledge, or challenge grant of about $1 million toward the $1.9 million campaign goal before broadening the appeal.

Evidence limits

This is a campaign strategy update, not evidence that the lead gift was secured or that construction was completed.
