Support Our Efforts 

To commemorate and preserve the legacy of the Syrian colony in New York City

Although major funding has been secured for the art installation, al Qalam: Poets in the Park, we still need to raise at least $200,000 for a conservation fund to preserve the art in perpetuity and to continue our work in commemorating the neighborhood’s history. An anonymous donor has offered to match every gift dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000. Please make a donation and help make this dream a reality. 

WSHS is a tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501 (c) (3 )of the Internal Revenue Service and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

THANK YOU.
