WHY SHOULD YOU DONATE?While Cairo, IL has lost much over the decades, the city's rich historic foundation has remained. This is evident through the beautiful historic structures and museums, some over 150 years old, that can still be seen today. The recent pandemic had a crippling economic effect on these beloved buildings, so a group of current and former residents resolved to do something about it. Thus, in April, 2021, The Cairo Historical Preservation Project, Inc. was formed.Since that time, TCHPP, Inc. has been actively advocating for Cairo's historical treasures through awareness initiatives and fundraising events, such as our annual Cairo Magnolia Celebration. Through the generosity of like-minded donors, we have raised thousands of dollars since the beginning for our four project buildings: Magnolia Manor, the Cairo (Safford) Public Library, the Custom House Museum, and Ward Chapel AME Church. These funds have helped with maintenance and repairs, but the need -- and the vision -- is still great. Be a hero. Help protect the unique history of Cairo for future generations by helping us preserve these beautiful structures today. As a designated 501C3 non-profit, all one-time or reoccurring gifts you give through TCHPP, Inc. are tax-deductible. And every dollar donated will go towards the protection, preservation, and awareness of our historic hometown architectural treasures.Thank you for being a Cairo Preservation Hero!
