The Mary Morton Parsons Foundation, a prestigious Virginia grantor, has awarded the Fort Monroe Foundation a $250,000 Challenge toward the site’s priority projects over the next five years.
To secure the Challenge, the Fort Monroe Foundation must raise $1,000,000 in new gifts or pledges – or secure increased support from previous donors by next December 2018. Fort Monroe’s next phase of development of public resources and programs is estimated to require $19,500,000. Among the major projects is the new Visitor and Education Center, along with way-finding signage and plans for the old Post Theater and Old Quarters One restoration.
With significant early support from the federal government, Commonwealth of Virginia and select private donors, a balance of $13,500,000 is being sought to support these five-year projects and resources for a growing audience.
