Thank you to all of our donors!
Thank you to all of our donors!
The Friends of the Tanner House have currently received commitments of more than $250K between individual donors and institutional pledges to ensure that the Henry O. Tanner House receives a new exterior roof, closing up the home from exposure to the elements which has accelerated deterioration. This urgent, emergency effort will allow us to begin and extend into the process of recovering the interior of the home with attention to best practices in historic home preservation. We are far from finished, but this is such a strong beginning so that the Tanner House survives for a brighter tomorrow!

The Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia serves as the fiscal sponsor for the Friends of the Tanner House, ensuring that all donations made to the campaign are tax-deductible. Donations made via check can be mailed to: 1608 Walnut Street, Suite 1702, Philadelphia, PA 19103. Please explicitly name "Tanner House Campaign" within the memo.
With the current owner’s enthusiasm and seed investment, plans are being made to transfer the property to non-profit ownership for long-term stewardship and reuse as a community cultural asset.
With your contribution, we can secure its future for generations of Philadelphia artists, intellectuals, changemakers, tourists, and visitors.
