Barnraiser! October 2011

Last July, the barn had to be closed to the public due to safety issues. The barn is one of the highlights of the school tour program – it is the only barn on the African American Heritage Trail built by a free African American in Virginia. Please visit the Barnraiser! page to help us raise the needed funds to re-open it as quickly as possible.

More about the Barnraiser!

The Ivy Creek Foundation in Charlottesville, Virginia is a non-profit organization whose mission is enriching lives by fostering environmental awareness through education and connecting the community with nature.

The Ivy Creek Foundation:

The operating budget of the Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is supported primarily by annual tax-deductible contributions through membership participation. The Foundation has two part-time staff and an 13 member Board of Directors.

The Foundation launched its third Annual Fund Drive in October 2010. We hope to raise additional monies in the coming year to support new environmental education and history programming for local area schools. Throughout the year we will seek support for our exciting new education initiatives by expanding and engaging our membership and through a series of fundraising events. Check our Education Initiatives page for more information on new programs, and our Membership & Giving page for how you can help!
