Landmark Columbus receives $100k gift from Haddad Foundation for endowment

The Landmark Columbus Foundation will receive a $100,000 gift towards the foundation’s endowment.

The foundation is announcing the gift through the Tracy L. Haddad Foundation towards a $3 million campaign goal for the architectural group.

Haddad serves as president of the Tracy L. Haddad Foundation and vice chair of the Landmark Columbus Foundation Board of Directors. She said that Columbus dares to dream in design and the Landmark Columbus Foundation “ensures those dreams have the support they need to endure, evolve, and include more people.

Landmark Columbus Foundation launched the endowment drive as a way to support its initiatives including Exhibit Columbus, Progressive Preservation and the Columbus Design Institute. The foundation’s goal is to continue to care for, celebrate, and advance the cultural heritage of Columbus and like-minded communities.

The foundation hopes to reach the $3 million goal by the time the Exhibit Columbus installations launches this summer on August 15th. The campaign has already raised $2.3 million, with support from regional foundations, individual donors, and community leaders.

Haddad’s donation will be celebrated at an event in May called High Five Day. High Five Day will include the foundation’s annual report and will be May 6th from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Upland Columbus Pump House. The event will be free and you are invited to attend.
