The Serenbe Institute awards HGTV windfall to community projects

4th of July parade

I hope you had the opportunity to visit the HGTV Green Home here in Serenbe while it was open for tours over the summer. What a beautiful home it is. HGTV was a wonderful partner and, as a result of the money raised from the tours, many community programs were recipients of the windfall. One recipient, the Serenbe Institute for Arts, Culture & the Environment, used their proceeds and paid it forward, awarding funds to several more local programs and projects.

The Institute received 15 applications, all for worthy projects. The Institute’s executive committee gave thoughtful consideration to each application and ultimately awarded funds for the following projects:

Serenbe Playhouse’s
Alice in Wonderland

Serenbe community collaborative – to purchase chairs and tables for the Stables meeting room, signage for the trail system, software to upgrade the community website, and construction of a dock at Grange Lake
The Children’s House (Montessori school in Serenbe) – to support construction of a playground and purchase geocaching devices for the after-school program
Serenbe Farms – to support restoring the fertility of a 3-acre field and beautify and plant it with small fruits and flowers
Serenbe Artist-in-Residence program – to upgrade community outreach and communications capabilities
Courtyard studio meeting room – for maintenance and upgrade of the facility
Serenbe Playhouse – to purchase sound and lighting equipment, keyboard, and computer equipment
Serenbe Photography Center – to support interior renovation and upgrade, purchase of additional lighting and exhibition hanging systems, and upgrading database for use by the Center, the Playhouse, and other programs

Fun at Camp Serenbe

I encourage you to visit the Institute’s website. The good people involved in the Institute offer inspiring programs. The Institute’s mission is “to cultivate the community’s creative, intellectual, and ecological qualities through programs and projects that promote our social, spiritual, and aesthetic curiosity.” As a resident of Serenbe and the greater Chattahoochee Hill Country, I appreciate their generosity in supporting local programs and projects.
