PLEDGE FUND | Building the Future: Welgemeend Restoration Fund

Timed Online Auction, 25 July - 25 August 2025

Welgemeend is one of a few remaining original homesteads in Cape Town’s city bowl district, built in circa 1693. The Friends of Welgemeend in collaboration with the Kilbourn Family and Strauss & Co have been raising funds for the ongoing preservation and restoration of the heritage building, the Boerneef Art Collection and the surrounding gardens. The main fundraising event takes place during the Welgemeend August Art Month. This year the Art Month committee has identified a wishlist of projects necessary for the continued maintenance in the seven auction sessions detailed below. The fundraiser takes the form of a pledge. Donors will be invited to attend a contributor’s event at the end of August Art Month, hosted by the Friends of Welgemeend.

The prioritisation of all funds received, will be at the discretion of the Friends of Welgemeend.

Buyers premium will not be charged on pledges received.
