Sponsorships

For Individuals

There are often special needs of the Society that can be addressed by one-time gifts. Donations from individuals have recently restored the 1805 Latrobe Survey, paid for the cleaning and restoration of the 1759 Mary Brinckle painting, and commissioned new finials for a clock in the collection.

For Businesses

Businesses can support the New Castle Historical Society and local history by becoming a sponsor for one of our annual fundraising events: our winter fundraiser, spring garden party or fall annual appeal campaign party.

In return for your support of $500 or more, your company will be recognized and promoted  as a supporter and sponsor of the event:

- In a NCHS print newsletter

- On the NCHS website, www.newcastlehistory.org with a reciprocal link to your website (see below)

- By signage utilized at the event you sponsor 

You will also receive two complimentary tickets to the event you choose to sponsor. 

Additional sponsorship opportunities may be made available as well depending on the event.

Preservation Projects

Sponsorships are also available to support major preservation work on the Amstel and Dutch Houses. An example of a recent preservation project is the restoration of the 1738 chimney and fireplace in the Amstel House kitchen. The fireplace project was funded in part by Port to Port International of Wilmington, Delaware.

Upcoming projects that are ideal for corporate support include:

-         Interior plaster and painting of the Amstel House based on a previously completed  historic paint analysis

-         Paint analysis of the Dutch House interior to determine its historic colors
