Preserving Our Home

The Inaugural 501(c)(3) Founders Campaign & 2nd Annual Sponsor-A-Seat

The Sponsor-A-Seat program is a meaningful way to help preserve our home and support our community. It’s a wonderful opportunity to feature your name, honor a loved one, celebrate your family, or showcase your business on a custom-engraved seat plaque, and become a visible part of our historic Garibaldina for 2027.

A Historic Milestone: We are Officially a 501(c)(3)!

Welcome to an exciting new chapter for The Garibaldina Society! We are thrilled to celebrate our official launch as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which means your contribution is now tax-deductible!

To celebrate this milestone, every donor who participates in this campaign will be permanently honored in our official archives as an Inaugural 501(c)(3) Founding Supporter. Your name will forever be part of our history books.

Caring for Our Garibaldina Home

Our mid-century hall is the heartbeat of Italian culture in Los Angeles, a home built on community, respect, and shared heritage. But honoring our tradition means protecting where it happens. Every seat sponsored and dollar raised goes directly toward critical repairs to keep our building safe, dry, and welcoming for generations to come.

Thanks to incredible generosity, last year's Pave it Forward initiative raised over $71k, allowing us to finalize our ADA-compliant plans and complete essential inspections for our parking lot. We have incredible momentum, but the parking lot is just one piece of the puzzle. We must preserve the rest of our home immediately. We are facing costly, structural projects that cannot wait: specifically urgent roof repairs and major plumbing updates. 

While physical seat plaques will be installed for 2027, we need your funding today to complete these critical repairs before the winter weather sets in.
