Help us reach our Annual Fund goal!

Please consider a donation online to help us reach this year's Annual Fund goal of $250,000. With it, we can look forward to creating many more fun and educational experiences for you at Gore Place. Thank you for your support!

Congratulations to those who helped meet the Gore Place $30,000 challenge match head-on! An anonymous donor and those who made pledges and gifts between Valentine's Day and April 1 have boosted the 2024 annual fund to a record high of $188,000 toward our goal of $250,000. Gore Place thanks all who participated in the match and those who will help us reach this year's goal by June 30, 2024.

An invaluable resource for our community.
Made possible by the support of our community.

Why do you love Gore Place? Are you thrilled by immersing yourself in the history, art and architecture of the beautiful Gore Mansion? Are you invigorated by exploring a beautiful country estate, breathing the fresh air and hearing the sheep baa? Do you spend the whole year looking forward to your favorite programs — concerts in the Carriage House, floral design, holiday tea, our famous Sheepshearing Festival?

All of these experiences, and everything else you love about Gore Place, is made possible by the support of our community. That support takes different forms for different people: Becoming a member, giving, volunteering, partnering through their business. All these ways of supporting Gore Place are critical to our present and future success.
