Depicted above is a conceptual drawing of the proposed layout for the monument site. It consists of a rectangular paved area (64x32-feet in size, or 2,000 square feet) surrounding the statue of General Greene, which will be constructed of paving blocks. Among them will be engraved memorial pavers of various sizes featuring dedications and messages authored by donors to the project. The border of white squares represents twenty 2x2-foot engraved paving blocks, in a contrasting gray granite hue, for major donors who contribute $1,000 or more to the project. This number can be increased up to twenty-eight granite blocks, if necessary, by adding four more blocks, evenly spaced, on either side of the monument plinth.

Nathanael Greene Monument Foundation, Inc. ● 164 Gough Avenue, Coventry, RI 02816-7515
NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION ~ As of June 18, 2020, the Board of Directors of The Foundation has voted to end this effort to erect a monument honoring Major General Nathanael Greene in the Town of Coventry, Rhode Island. Therefore, no additional donations will be accepted. In accordance with IRS Rules & Regulations, all available funds that remain after the cost of the termination process will be given to the Nathanael Greene Homestead Association, to be used for the support of ongoing activities of that IRS recognized 501(c)(3) entity. We have been assured by the leadership of that organization that our major donors and contributors will be recognized for their generosity in an appropriate manner. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience which our well-intentioned but apparently miscalculated volunteer effort to memorialize Nathanael Greene may have caused anyone. Thank you for your understanding.
