Your support is urgently needed
A more substantial way to contribute to Save Venice’s mission is by adopting a project or playing a major role in one not yet funded. Celebrate a milestone or commemorate a loved one with an extraordinary contribution to restore a work of art to which you feel a connection. Save Venice has several restoration projects in need of support. Some projects are underway and others cannot begin until funding is found. The cost of adopting a project ranges from $1,000 to $25,000 and up. Depending on the cost, it is possible to fulfill your pledge in stages. Your restricted contribution is entirely tax deductible. Once you “adopt” a project, your name will appear, in conjunction with the project, on the Save Venice website and in the Save Venice newsletter.
