I have been a passionate supporter of the campaign to recreate Handel’s home in London since the idea first took shape 20 years ago. We have come a long way since then, and it is wonderful to be finally on the brink of completing this great mission. The next few years promise to be exciting ones and I hope you will be inspired to join us, by supporting the Hallelujah Project and helping us to “make Handel’s House happen”.
We have set up a special new group for donors who generously decide to support the Hallelujah Project. To download a pdf of our Handel Hundred leaflet click here.
Individual benefactors who are kind enough to donate a one-off gift of £5000 or more, or an initial gift of £1000 or more with a pledge to donate a total of £5000 by December 2022, are invited to join our highly-valued ‘Handel Hundred’.
We welcome enquiries from Charitable Trusts and Foundations who are kindly interested in supporting the Hallelujah Project. Please contact the Director, Elizabeth Nicholson, if you would like to be sent more detailed information.
The Handel House Trust has been fortunate to benefit from some very generous legacies left by people who want to commemorate the pleasure that Handel’s music brought them in their lifetimes through a gift that will continue to bring that joy to many others in generations to come.
We acknowledge our legators on a donor board and we also have a new plan, on completion of the Hallelujah Project, to install a Georgian bookcase in the house, where legators can have their names inscribed in gold on the spine of one of the books displayed; a rather special way for them to be permanently remembered within the presentation of the house. Please contact the Director, Elizabeth Nicholson if you would like more information about leaving a legacy to Handel House.
Our existing major US donors will be automatically enrolled in the Handel Hundred, and we would be delighted if new supporters from America choose to join the project.
We have an associated American charity, the Handel House Foundation of America (HHFA), that enables our kind US supporters to donate in a tax efficient manner.
Donations in dollars can be sent by cheque, made out to:
The Handel House Foundation of America c/o Casner & Edwards LLP,
