This fund exists for helping preserve buildings.

​https://preservewa.org/programs/grants/valerie-sivinski-fund/

Up to $3000 is available if we put together a plan for next year in order to retain or return the building to a historic state. This fund is closed for this year.

Edit: This would require us to be a member of the Washington Fund at the 'Non-Profit Organization' level or above ($75). ​https://preservewa.app.neoncrm.com/forms/general-membership-form

Edit 2: Might go a long way to fixing the roof and helping to start the process on getting asbestos removed as mentioned in Bug #26.

Edit 3: The Gelb building is listed in the Pacific Coast Architectural Database and was listed on the Department of Neighborhoods Historical Site Listing circa 2012-2014. ​https://web.archive.org/web/20120609231132/http://web1.seattle.gov/dpd/historicalsite/QueryResult.aspx?ID=9 (This link now redirects to the seattle.gov homepage and does not appear to be active, nor does the Gelb building appear on the historical site map now.)
