How you can help

Grassy Lake history

Building purchase

$300,000

Repairs & restoration

$100,000

Six ways to help

Every contribution, big or small, makes a lasting impact

  • Donating

    Every contribution, big or small, makes a lasting impact — and goes straight into the purchase and the repairs.

  • Becoming a future tenant

    An office, a suite, or a regular slot in the gathering room. Letters of intent help enormously with funding applications.

  • Volunteering

    Painting, cleaning, moving furniture, putting the kettle on, minding children while other people work — all of it counts.

  • Offering skills or expertise

    Trades, accounting, grant writing, legal advice, heritage building knowledge. If you know how to do something, we'd love to hear it.

  • Sharing the vision

    Tell a neighbour. Share it in your group. Word of mouth in a town this size is worth more than any advert.

  • Providing letters of support

    A short letter saying why this matters to you carries real weight with funders and with the county.
