From its inception to the present, the Geneva History Center has depended almost entirely on a tradition of philanthropy to support its mission. However, the center had outgrown its facility and needed a new home that would be funded through a capital campaign. The campaign brochure uses nostalgia to convey the needs of the center today and into the future. Compelling profiles of Geneva citizens state the case for support. The result? The new Geneva History Center is alive and well and continuing its rich tradition of making history in downtown Geneva, Illinois.
