Give to the Magnolia Village Beautification Forever Fund

---

All donations will go towards maintaining and sustaining the completed Magnolia Village beautification project Phases I-V

In 2018, volunteers joined together through the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce and launched the Reimagine Magnolia Village Beautification Project. The project was completed in 2024.

Maintenance and sustaining the streetscape improvements provides the opportunity for donors – like you – to keep investing in the beautification project, including:

• 45 Flower Baskets – donors can sponsor one or more of the 45 flower baskets and ensure they are watered and fertilized from May through September. Each flower basket costs $530. These dollars cover purchasing the high-quality annuals, the hanging of the baskets, and the watering, fertilizing, and tending of baskets along with their removal in the fall. Be a flower basket benefactor today: We look forward to recognizing you in  the community!
• Annual cleaning of 25 umbrellas – be a sponsor for the annual cleaning of the distinctive red umbrellas that protect and enhance the tables and chairs throughout Magnolia Village. The fee for annual cleaning all 25 umbrellas is $4340.00. Your gift today ensures the umbrellas stay beautiful and functional.
• General Maintenance: be a Magnolia Village beautification protector – your generous donations to support annual maintenance help keep 25 tables, 100 chairs, 33 benches, 27 decorative poles, numerous seasonal banners and wreaths looking great year round.

Please join us and give today – the Magnolia Village Beautification Forever Fund is an ongoing maintenance campaign to maintain the beautification project’s streetscape improvements. The annual funding campaign will ensure that our community’s investments, made by the donors you see below, are maintained to the best of our abilities. We could not have done the project without you, and we cannot maintain it without you!

For 2024, our fundraising goal is $30,000. Your generous gift today will keep our Village looking beautiful and welcoming.
