The Orange Historical Society is participating in The Great Give in early May to raise funds for its programs.
The Great Give is a 36-hour online fundraising event created by The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven in 2010. It unites donors with nonprofits serving greater New Haven, raising money and awareness for causes in the region. The event includes matching funds and prizes from The Community Foundation, the Valley Community Foundation and other sponsors.
In 2022, more than $3.46 million was raised for over 500 nonprofits.
The Orange Historical Society’s fundraising efforts have been down in the past three years due to COVID-19. Historical cooking lessons and dining events at the Bryan-Andrew House are beginning once again, as well as other revenue-generating events such as the Historical House Tours, The Academy Tag Sales, Antique Doll Sale and the Country Fair.
To donate, visit thegreatgive.org between 8 a.m. on May 3 and 8 p.m. on May 4 and choose one or more charitable organizations. You can also help nonprofits through peer-to-peer fundraising.
