Green Gables Awarded $10,000 Grant

Green Gables is the grateful recipient of a $10,000 operating Support Grant provided by the generosity of the Barbara Wells Family Foundation and Community Foundation for Brevard. This award will cover the cost of water and sewer impact fees for Green Gables and connection for water service and plumbing for our outside operation. City water access will be such a welcome commodity for hygiene for volunteers and visitors, in cleaning the building, for future construction crews, and for watering our gardens.  

“Foundations such as the Community Foundation for Brevard and philanthropy such as the Barbara Wells Family Foundation are the catalysts that keep historic preservation in our communities and so many smaller nonprofits operational” said Green Gables Board Member, Sue Fallon.

G G Awarded $482,500 Matching Grant

On June 7, 2022 the Florida Division of Historical Resources awarded Green Gables a $482,500 acquisition matching grant toward the purchase of the historic home and site of Green Gables.  Volunteers have spent the past dozen years fundraising and trying  to strike a deal to buy the six-bedroom, 1896-vintage American Four  Square/Queen Anne house — which features a distinctive octagonal porch —  to refurbish as a public asset.  Marion Ambrose, president of the preservation-minded nonprofit  Green Gables, described her reaction  as “stunned.”   But I'm very excited," Ambrose said. “Because we have so many plans now that we own it. "Melbourne needs Green Gables and its grounds because virtually  every other significant element of the early built environment has been  obliterated in the development associated with the Space Age," the  application said.
