Delancey Underground Seeking $75k in 75 Days

Posted on: June 1st, 2012 by

The folks behind the Delancey Underground (aka Lowline) just floated a new summer challenge. An angel donor will reportedly step in to match if the organization can raise $75,000 in 75 days. Judging by the recent success of their other fundraising efforts (including a high-profile gallery show), this goal seems doable. All cash raised in this first phase goes toward the ultimate target of $150,000, the necessary amount needed for research efforts.

More from the press release:

We’re thrilled to announce that an angel donor has stepped forward with a challenge. If we can raise $75k in 75 days, this generous supporter will match that amount, allowing us to hit our immediate target of $150,000.

We have a lot of research to do before we can begin transforming the current site into a vibrant green space. This campaign will help us complete our engineering studies and business plan in time for our September tech demo exhibit — and will help us prove that a Lowline park makes good sense for our neighborhood.

    the High Line has devastated Chelsea, forcing many businesses out by increased rents so the high priced hotels and servants of the tourist class can reap their profits – it is indisuputable – how much of the 75K will be used to pay for gates and surveillance gear so the cops can watch everyone.
