The Essential Piece Campaign


Help Make this Vision a Reality!

The overall cost of the project is $4 million. By collaborating with dedicated architects and builders, we have secured fair and even charitable costs estimates. We are securing funding through government, corporate, and foundation sources, as well as from individuals in the community.

Our Goal

Our goal is to raise the funds necessary without overburdening our community. Therefore, we have created accessible giving plans that allow everyone to participate regardless of their financial status. Pledges can be paid over 2 years and currently range from $75 to $155,000. Payments can be made by check, cash or by credit card by clicking the donate now button.
