Since 1977, the Alliance has granted over $500,000 to worthy projects that preserve our heritage and enrich our lives. In 1992, to continue its mission to provide educational opportunities for members and the general public and to support the restoration and preservation of historic buildings, landscaping and artifacts, the Alliance established a Grants Program. These grants are made possible through the fundraising efforts of members who have enthusiastically organized bake sales, garage sales, garden tours, and house tours, and through the generous donations and bequests from members and friends of the Alliance.
