The Museum's <br />Board of Directors has dedicated an annual stipend to match the Lodging Tax <br />grant fund request through its annual budget. The Museum has proposed to <br />increase the budget line from $2,500 to $5,000 for 2023. <br />While we have applied for and been awarded grant funding for capital <br />improvement, the funding received was dedicated for that project and not for <br />advertising. We are applying for additional capital improvement project funding <br />through local, regional, and national grants in addition to grants specific to <br />museum collections storage, archives maintenance, collections care, and historic <br />preservation. <br />Additionally, we have applied for the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau for <br />our evening lecture series programming, which if approved, will provide a stipend <br />for speaker fees while the museum will be responsible for travel expenses. <br />However, that funding is specific for programming and cannot support other uses. <br />We are also looking for additional grant opportunities to support additional <br />development of our programming and events. <br />We ask for support from the Lodging Tax Grant to help accommodate all of the <br />new ideas we would like to use to achieve success. lf not funded, we would adjust <br />our plans to reflect the decreased budget. <br />While the Museum is utilizing its Operating Budget for support, it does forecast a <br />major operating deficit of $38,000-$45,000 with support to be given and cured by <br />the Kittitas County Historical Society Foundation. lt is uncertain at this time if that <br />support will be lent to advertising as it will be primarily to the programming and <br />capital improvements. <br />2500 character limit. <br />1033.33 <br />This field will auto fill with the correct percentage based on your input to budget seclion below <br />For any claimed in-kind contributions valued at $500 or more and related to marketing/advertising, you must <br />submit verif,Ting documentation which assures the contribution will be provided. <br />9l Project Budget Overview <br />Please complete budget for this projecVproposal. lf your agency operates independently of this project application it <br />may not be necessary to submit the entire agency budget.
