The Commons - Our Common Heritage Campaign

The OUR COMMON HERITAGE CAMPAIGN is an opportunity for you to participate in the creation of the Commons - a new landmark space in the heart of downtown Washington, Indiana. This public space celebrates our community and provides a new gathering space for our residents and visitors to come together, celebrate, and enjoy. 

Sponsorships are available at a variety of levels, and all will be recognized publicly as part of the Heritage Wall feature proposed for inclusion as part of the Commons project. Contributions made to the OUR COMMON HERITAGE CAMPAIGN are tax deductible as a charitable contribution to the extent allowed by law.
