IN FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019, FUNDRAISING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CULTURAL AND EDUCATION CENTER CONTINUED WITH 3 MAJOR FUNDRAISERS THAT NETTED APPROXIMATELY 92,000 FOR THE CENTER. ADDITIONALLY, A 1 MILLION STATE GRANT IN AID WHICH WAS ACQUIRED IN 2016 CONTINUED IN THE CONTRACT STAGE. A NEW STATE GRANT IN AID PROPOSAL WAS SUBMITTED, PRESENTING THE CENTER DESIGN IN 3 PHASES. THE ORGANIZATION APPLIED FOR FUNDING PHASE 1, WHICH INCLUDES THE MAIN ASSEMBLY HALL AND HALL OF EXPLORATIONS, AS WELL AS RESTROOMS, STORAGE, AND OUTDOOR PARKING LOT AND LANDSCAPING, RESULTING IN A 200,000 AWARD WHICH WAS GRANTED TO BEGIN JULY 1, 2018, PENDING RELEASE OF FUNDS BY THE STATE.

FUNDRAISING CONTINUES TO MEET ADDITIONAL COSTS. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESULTED IN DIFFICULTIES IN CONDUCTING SIGNIFICANT PLANNED FUNDRAISING, LOSING ITS 200,000 GIA BECAUSE THE PROJECT WAS NOT "SHOVEL READY." WITH THE POTENTIAL OF LOSING MORE FUNDING, THE CENTER HAS MOVED IN A NEW DIRECTION. SITE WORK AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ARE PLANNED TO BEGIN IN 2021 AND WILL BE COMPLETED IN 2022.
