Help us make our year-end goal!


 

Like so many non-profit organizations, we rely heavily on year-end donations for our annual budget. It is all of you who support our work to preserve the Portland area's building heritage.  There are still a few days left to make a difference as 2010 comes to an end.

If you have not already done so, please take a moment to support the AHC, our Mission, Education Programs, Exhibits, and Events by making a tax-deductible donation, however large or small.  You can also support us by joining as a new member or purchasing a gift membership for friends & family.
 
All
contributions are tax deductible so there's no better time than right now to support our mission of "Educating people to Support our Building Heritage".

Community Warehouse Contributions

Due to the thoughtfulness of many generous donors, the AHC had a car-full of gently-used household items to contribute to the Community Warehouse's "Home for the Holidays" project. Thanks to all who donated!  And many thanks to Holly Chamberlain for spearheading the effort and making the delivery on our behalf.

Does Your Company "Match"
