THA’S CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT CAMPAIGN began with its kick-off on November 28, 2007. The Campaign is a multi-year effort to raise private funding to assist the Department of the Treasury in 12 high-priority preservation and restoration projects in the Main Treasury Building and its environs, as well as furnishings and documents in Treasury’s collections of historically-significant items. Eight former Secretaries of the Treasury have agreed to serve as Sponsoring Members of THA’s Capital Development Committee. Detailed information about the various projects to be funded through this Campaign is contained in THA’s Treasury Restoration Projects booklet, and contributions will be appreciated in any amount. Contributions may be designated for a particular project listed in the booklet or be considered to be undesignated, as desired by donors’ indication on the donor card.
