Knight Foundry Capital Campaign
KNIGHT FOUNDRY CAPITAL CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED




























The Knight Foundry Fundraising and Capital Campaign
Committee
did yeoman work in an intensive effort prior to the
March 1st, 2007, California Cultural and Historical Endowment
(CCHE) Round 3 grant application deadline.

Securing matching resources for this grant was a high priority.
Including past resources raised to Save Knight Foundry, we brought
in $20,291 in campaign donations and, including past commitments
to the Save Knight Foundry campaign, raised $102,315 in pledges.
In addition, we identified $263,464 in potential in-kind donations,
$100,000 in loans, and $300,000 in potential support from the City
of Sutter Creek.  

The Capital Campaign can be credited with having a strong
influence on the CCHE decision to reserve $870,750 for Knight
Foundry on August 23, 2007.

The community really pulled together to make this happen and,
under the direction of Chairman Troy Claveran, the Campaign
Committee has become a smoothly running fundraising operation.

  • A Knight Foundry information booth has been built and
    fielded at several events.
  • A benefit golf tournament was held.
  • A lavish dinner/auction was held on October 27, 2007 at the
    Jackson Rancheria.
