A Campaign to Ensure Remembrance
Through the dedicated efforts of individual donors, volunteers, corporate patrons, and foundations, the Grove has already raised more than $5.3 million toward the renovation and endowment of the Grove. In 1994 the fundraising effort to underwrite construction costs was launched; as of now, most of the Grove construction is complete. Thousands of volunteers at monthly Workdays have contributed invaluably in creating the Grove. Volunteer labor is estimated to have saved more than $700,000. The board of directors has held firm to its commitment that the Grove receive no federal funding, preferring instead that all government funds earmarked for AIDS continue to support AIDS care, research, and treatment programs.
