$4,500,000 the first year and $6,500,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources. Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process.

The target for the short term fell short of our goal for 2 major reasons: 1) Our annual fundraising campaign didn't ask donors if they wanted their donation to go to the hotel project or into the general fund, so all proceeds went into the general fund. 2) In 2018 we held an aggressive Class Challenge campaign to raise funds for the Hotel project.
Our intermediate goal was achieved. As a result of this project, the public has access to a larger photographic collection on Hotel Sacred Heart.
The long term impact will be achieved within three years when we present an exhibit on Hotel Sacred Heart using the extensive photographic collection created in this project. The exhibit is already in the progress of being created.
The planning, execution of the plans, supervision and teamwork contributed to reaching these results.
