Gifts and Donations

Keene’s Spirit of Place program fosters community spirit through donations such as equipment, materials, time, or funding. You can choose specific projects or items for your contributions, with many possibilities to make an impact. (Donations are tax deductible, to the extent allowed by law.)

Help preserve, restore, and enhance Keene by contributing to key projects that are ready to launch with your support. Honor a special event or remember a loved one. If you don't see a project that aligns with your interests, we can work with you to generate ideas that align with your goals.
