Much like there’s Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Museum Shop Sunday, and Cyber Monday, non-profits have organized a special day to support deserving projects and causes called Giving Tuesday. This year for Giving Tuesday on November 28, 2017, here are six great reasons to give to Preservation Maryland:
Since the program’s launch in 2015, Preservation Maryland has leveraged an unparalleled $5 of support for these threatened sites for every $1 the organization has spent on the Six-to-Fix program. Your donation makes a difference and we use every penny. For Giving Tuesday, we’ve get a goal of $6000 to raise for the Six-to-Fix program.
What project below will inspire you to give?
