Every little bit provides support in securing a beautiful artist driven venue.

Three days left.

Because of this amazing community, we've reached 63% of our Building Fund goal!

That incredible jump happened because so many people believe in Greenwood Social Hall and the role it plays as a listening room, a gathering place, and a home for artists and audiences to share meaningful experiences together.

To every donor, every volunteer, every musician, every local artist, every member of our folk community, our Westside neighbors, our friends, and our longtime supporters—thank you. Your generosity has brought us this far.

Now we're entering the final three days of our campaign.

If Greenwood Social Hall has ever inspired you through a concert, a song circle, a story, or simply by bringing people together, we invite you to help us finish strong.

You're invited to celebrate with us!
🎀 Greenwood Ribbon Cutting & Dedication Ceremony
📅 Thursday, JULY 30
