Welcome to the Ivy Creek Foundation

The Barn! will be open again on May 19, 2012

The barn had its grand reopening on April 21st. In case you missed it, the barn will be open every Saturday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00 pm until Thanksgiving. We have hands-on displays of skulls, nests, bones, pelts and feathers. Also there are seasonal displays of spring wildflowers, migrating birds and tree flowers. The barn is also the only barn on the African American Heritage Trail built by a free African American in Virginia, and possibly the East Coast. Please visit the Barnraiser! page to help us raise the needed funds for additional displays.

More about the Barn Reopening!

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 fourth Annual Fund Drive in October 2011. 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!
