Crowdfunding project aims to revive historic Melfort building
People with a soft spot for historic architecture will be happy to hear of a new funding project for the original Melfort post office.
This Place Matters allows non-profit groups like the Main Street Melfort organizers to create crowd-funding projects.
So far, they have raised $850 in less than 10 days, with about three months more to go. On top of that, RBC has pledged to match every dollar, up to $25,000.
Teri Scaife, director of community services and Main Street board member, said the crowd funding site is the first of its kind, put together by the National Trust for Canada—a historic preservation society throughout the country.
