Foundation funds can be used for the historic preservation of our building, including but not limited to, the architectural façade, supporting structures, electrical, mechanical and vertical transportation systems.

By making expenditures for these purposes, the Foundation can provide funds beyond those assessed and set aside for annual capital. Learn more on the Ways to Give page.
