Want to join us in making a difference? We are raising money for Foundation Forward, Inc., a Educational Non-Profit 501 (c) (3) organization and any donation will help make impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us and future generations.
More information about Foundation Forward, Inc.: We are a non-profit educational foundation that is gifting the Charters of Freedom settings as displayed at the National Archives to every county in the US. This allows our future generations to see the documents this country was founded on firsthand whether through school field trips or with their families, this is also near and dear to Veterans of all branches as they all swore to uphold and defend these documents.
Bring Charters of Freedom to Washoe County
The Declaration of Independence, United States Constitution and Bill of Rights are collectively known as the Charters of Freedom. These original documents are on permanent display at the National Archives in Washington D.C. Foundation Forward, Inc. is an educational non-profit whose sole purpose is to build replicas of the National Archives setting in communities throughout the United States. The Washoe County Board of Commissioners has approved* this setting to be installed in the grassy area of the County Court House on Virginia St, behind the existing WWII memorial. It will look very similar to the rendition shown above. You can view a three minute video of our story at http://youtu.be/FJ9e0ATE5Hw
Local volunteers are committed to raising the necessary funds ($80,000) before construction can begin. If you believe a permanent display of our nation’s founding documents will be a worthwhile asset to our community, please consider supporting this project. All contributors, regardless of the amount, will have their name placed in a time capsule that is part of the setting. Donors of $100 to $499 will be entitled to a brick paver with the inscription of their choosing. Donors of $500 or more will have their name etched in a bronze plaque that will also be part of the setting.
We want to give thanks to the following volunteers for their time, labor and materials: Newt Concrete, American Readimix, Cemex, Joe Destein, Ken Brown, Keith Lee, John Buzzone, Mike Widmer and Chuck Slavin. This represents approximately $10,000 in costs.
DONATION DETAILS
1. Donations of any amount are appreciated and all donor names will be included in a time capsule that is part of the setting. Donations of $100 to $499 entitle the donor to an inscribed brick paver (8” x 4”). Multiple paver orders are welcome. Donors of $500 or more will have their name etched in a bronze plaque that is part of the setting.
