Give Directly to the Charlton Park Village Foundation
The Charlton Park Village Foundation (CPVF) was established in 1988 for the sole purpose of providing funds needed to preserve and maintain the Park’s historic village, the museum, and its collections. Thanks to this endowment, the CPVF can provide funding every year to repair things like roofs on historic buildings, or to purchase storage boxes for the collection, or restore artifacts like the Hastings City Bank clock.
The CPVF is designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization and is licensed to solicit funds MICS/13374. Your gift is tax deductible. Click the button below to learn more about the Foundation and make a donation today!
