The Campaign
For the community, built by the community
Join our capital campaign to create a thriving community center — a space where Upper Valley residents and local groups can gather for meals, celebrations, performances, and connection.

We aim to include every neighbor in our restoration and revitalization project. By fostering broad-based support through individual donations, community events and outreach we can ensure that everyone has a chance to contribute to the future of the Norwich Grange Hall.
Thanks to the generosity of early donors we’re almost there! Help us raise the final $180,000 needed from community donors to reach our $1.6M goal—every gift makes a difference.
A thriving community center where residents and local organizations can gather.
An energy-efficient renovation that preserves the historic charm of the original Grange and adds a commercial kitchen.
An inclusive, accessible space that fosters connection and creativity through food, the arts and cultural programming.

Project Budget
The total estimated cost of the renovation is $1.6 million. We plan to raise approximately half the funds for this project through grants and tax credits, and the other half through foundation and individual contributions in an $800,000 capital campaign.
The Norwich Grange Hall has been meeting with state, and federal grantmakers as well as local foundations to develop a project that fits with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation. To date we have received significant grants from:
The Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation
The 1772 Foundation
Vermont Housing and Conservation Board
The Preservation Trust of Vermont
Additional private and public foundations
