$30,000 Matching Grant Awarded

The Shore Line Trolley Museum has secured a $30,000 matching grant from an anonymous donor.  This donor, a Connecticut resident who is not a member of the Museum, recognized the importance of our Campaign and wanted to do everything in his power to ensure that we succeed.

The next $30,000 that the Campaign raises will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the gift’s impact. If you are still considering you gift, or if you have considered asking others to join you in support of the Campaign, now is the time! Please reach out to our fundraising counsel Bob Serow at rlserow[at]optonline[dot]com or 203-215-8569 to take advantage of this opportunity.
