Dear Community Members,

The Giving Rose Foundation invites you to a special training event dedicated to preserving our historic cemeteries, with a focus on Black cemeteries. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a community advocate, or simply passionate about honoring our past, this event is for you!

Why Attend?

Historic cemeteries are more than just burial grounds; they're living testaments to our shared history. They hold stories of resilience, triumph, and community that deserve to be remembered. Black cemeteries, in particular, often face neglect and erasure, making their preservation even more crucial.


Discussion:

  • The Giving Rose Foundation's mission to upskill and employ marginalized individuals in restoring and beautifying historic spaces.
  • The program's focus on preserving Black cemeteries in Austin.
  • The program's duration (one year) and the number of participants per cohort (10).
  • The financial investment per participant ($16,000) and the impressive return on investment (over 650% in three years).

RSVP Today!

Space is limited to 20 participants, so please RSVP to agivingrose@gmail.com to secure your spot.

Let's work together to ensure the stories and spirits within our historic cemeteries, especially Black cemeteries, are cherished and protected for generations to come.
