KF BUILDING AND ART RESTORATION FUND

We are now in the process of extensive renovations to the KF House in New York, as well as a general art restoration program. Many of you are well aware of the Van Alen Mansion, the “KF House,” home to Polonia over many generations. The building and street front are undergoing extensive renovation, and the KF is raising funds to help cover expenses. The artwork of the Foundation includes the Gallery of Polish Masters, an awe-inspiring collection of premier significance – including pieces by Matejko, the Kossak family, the Styka family, and Malczewski. The pieces need to be maintained and restored, and it is high time to do so. We are reaching out to all of our supporters: help to preserve the beauty of Polish-American culture. The Kosciuszko Foundation depends upon public donations to continue its work. You can help! To donate, visit www.thekf.org/support/building_and_art_funds or call the Development Office at 212-734-2130.
