Friends of the Barn
The Uniontown Community Development
Association, the non-profit public development authority run by volunteers that
was the visionary and implementer of the art center idea, completed the
re-construction with private donations, grants from a variety of public
agencies and thousands of volunteered hours. Therefore, there are no mortgage
payments on the facility. This enables UCDA to promise the participating
artisans the lowest possible rental rates. The operating budget is a "make ends
meet" budget, with no profit built in.
A Friends of the Barn foundation will be
developed to provide ongoing support of the facility and its programs. Two
capital projects will need to be funded: a hardwood surface for the Hay Loft
Hall for dances, and the elevator to make the entire building accessible.
Future plans to develop the agriculture museum and the outdoor amphitheater
will also include fund raising.
Until the foundation is set up, donations
may be made to Artisans at the Dahmen Barn through the Uniontown Community
Development Association, UCDA. All donations are tax deductible and donors may
specify a specific use for the funds. Donors may mail checks made to UCDA to P
O Box 36, Uniontown WA 99179. A written receipt will be sent, and donors will
be listed on the website unless they request otherwise.
The
Adopt-a-Wheel Program was begun March 2007. For information on this
opportunity to support Artisans at the Dahmen Barn, go to the
Adopt-a-Wheel page on this site.
