Quincy Preserves has provided financial assistance toward preservation and/or restoration work at the Washington Theater, Woodland Cemetery, the Dr. Richard Eell House, Villa Kathrine, and the Gardner Museum. Donations are made to the Quincy Public Library to expand its collection of preservation books, magazines, and videos. Four $500.00 scholarships have been awarded to area students whose applications have included essays on preservation topics. Quincy Preserves Façade Committee has made grants and loans to several businesses in the Historic Quincy Business District including the Busy Bistro, Celia’s, and Quincy Steamboat Company. These funds are used to restore facades to their original appearance. At its annual meeting, Quincy Preserves recognizes the preservation efforts of homeowners with commemorative plaques.
To support the many projects of Quincy Preserves, two annual architectural tours are conducted. The Behind Closed Doors tour each year in October and the Christmas Candlelight tour in December.
