New Benefactors of Old Salem
Mission
The New Benefactors of Old Salem aim to provide Old Salem Museums & Gardens with the support of Winston-Salem’s young professional community (ages 21-40 years old) by promoting awareness and engagement to our target demographic through social, service, and professional networking opportunities. We do so by:
(1) highlighting the many benefits of the Museums and Gardens through our social events, and
(2) funding and developing special projects with the money we’re able to raise.
