Green Eyeshades - THE CHECK IS IN!
I have wonderful news to share! Today, Trinity Cathedral received a $75,000 check from the Kent H. Smith Charitable Trust for four accessibility and life/safety capital projects. This grant was contingent on raising $72,000 of new capital campaign gifts for the four projects. And we did! We actually raised $74,074 thanks to the generosity of 86 Trinity kindred households and two family foundations. And we have $149,074 more to make our cathedral space more welcoming and to better serve all.
You know how I believe that Gifts Multiply! Need I say more?
