The success of the Farris project is attributed to many volunteers of time and money.  Countless hours and dollars have been generated to bring the Farris back to life.

 

The Friends of the Farris operates as a true not-for-profit corporation operating and maintaining the Farris.  Organizations and individuals pay a usage fee to assist the Friends in off setting the cost of operation g the building. 

 

To further advance the Farris project's success and insure its financial and physical well being to perpetuity, a broader funding base is created by the Farris Foundation, Inc.  Support is sought from individuals, local businesses, corporations, charitable foundations, estates and trusts to fund the Farris Foundation.
