The Museum's Soard of <br />Directors has dedlcated an annual stipend to match the Lodging Tax grant fund <br />request through its annual budget. The Museum increased budget line from $2,500 <br />to $5,000 in 2023 and will retain ilin2024. <br />While we have applied for and been awarded grant funding for capital improvement, <br />the funding received was dedicated for that project and not for advertising. We are <br />applying for additional capital improvement project funding through local, regional, <br />and national grants to begin the second phase of renovation work, in addition to <br />granis specific to museum collections storage, archives tlaintenance, collections <br />care. and historic preservation. <br />Additionally, we have applied for the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau for <br />our evening leclure series programming, which if approved, wilf provide a stipend for <br />speaker fees while the museum will be responsible for travel expenses. However, <br />that funding is specific for progranrming and cannot support other uses. We are also <br />looking for additional grant opportunities to support additional development of our <br />programming and events. We ask for support from the Lodging Tax Grant to help <br />accommodate all of lhe new ideas we would like to use to achieve success. lf not <br />funded, we would adjust 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 $47,000 with support to be given and cured by the Kittitas <br />County Historical Society Foundation. lt is uncertain at this time if that support will be <br />lent to advertising as it wilt be prirnarily to the general operations, programming and <br />capital irnprovements. <br />25110 ch,ilircler 1i$it <br />Funding Shortfalls *Whal changes will be nlade if lundrng Ior your reqresl is not avaiialrle oa reconmendod? <br />lf not funded, we would adjust our plans to reflect the decreased budget.
