Explanation * If not, why not? The Kittitas County Historical Museum currently receives no monetary support for advertising beyond the allocated amount through the museum's annual budget and what is awarded through the Lodging Tax Grant process. The Museum's Board of Directors has dedicated an annual stipend of $2,500 to match the Lodging Tax grant fund request through its annual budget. While we have applied for grant funding for capital improvement and archival project specific funding in the past, the funding is dedicated for those projects and not for advertising. We were not funded for additional awards for advertising nor were we successful in 2016 and 2017 in receiving other grant funding. In 2018, we are planning to apply for capital improvement project funding through local grants, such as the Puget Sound Energy Foundation, Yakama Cares (Yakama Nation), the City of Ellensburg, and the Yakima Valley Community Fund, in addition to grants specific to museum collections storage, archives maintenance, collections care, and historic preservation. Additionally, we have applied for the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau for our evening lecture series programming, which if approved, will provide a stipend for speaker fees while the museum will be responsible for travel expenses. However, that funding is specific for programming and cannot support other uses. We are also looking for additional grant opportunities to support additional development of our programming and events. We ask for support from the Lodging Tax Grant to help accommodate all of the new ideas we would like to apply to achieve success. If not funded, we would adjust our plans to reflect the decreased budget. 2500 character limt Funding Shortfalls* What changes would occur if the project couldn't be funded? If not funded, we would adjust our plans to reflect the decreased budget. With the Museum's budgeted amount of $2,500, we would allocate funding toward social media advertising but would reduce the anticipated market or frequency of the advertising. 2500 character lirit.
