The West Point Inn has endured financial challenges, natural threats, and even a global pandemic — each time sustained by the dedication and generosity of its members and supporters. In recent years, the Inn has rebounded strongly, with record usage, a full membership, and renewed operational strength.

​

However, stewardship of a historic property in a wildfire-prone environment comes with real and ongoing responsibility. A comprehensive 30-year study identified the need for over $1.7 million in capital investments, focused on structural integrity, safety, and long-term preservation.

 

Since 2022, significant progress has been made with approximately $300k invested in improvements, but the need for much more still remains ahead. 

 

To meet this moment, the West Point Inn Association has launched a bold initiative. 

​

The vision is simple and powerful.

 

Create a permanent financial foundation for the Inn’s future by building an endowment that generates sustainable annual funding - an endowment that will:

​

• On-going pledges to the WPI Endowment

• Protect the Inn from future financial uncertainty

• Ensure that critical improvements can be made proactively — not re-actively

​

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

​

At full funding, a WPIA $1.2 million Capital Campaign and Endowment is expected to generate $60,000+ annually, helping support ongoing capital needs in perpetuity.​​ We are rising up to this responsibility because we have momentum, an engaged community and a clear roadmap for the future of the West Point Inn. ​​

​

​Our Capital Campaign is being built on a shared commitment from our members and volunteer-driven community. Meaningful progress has already been made with early pledges demonstrating strong belief in our mission. But reaching success requires broad participation through:

​​

• Individual donors and contributing through multi-year pledges, or our newly launched Legacy Circle 

• Professional organizations interested in hosting off-sites

• WPIA committing operating surplus funds alongside donors

​

There is no minimum commitment. Participation is open to anyone wanting to make a lasting impact. Every contribution, large and small, plays a role in securing the future of the West Point Inn —  a gathering place, a volunteer-driven community, and a living piece of history.

 

Now is the moment. We have the opportunity and a responsibility to ensure the Inn remains available to all for the next century.​ 

 

We invite you to be a part of the WPI future.
