$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 Minnesota Historical Society must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms, with assistance from the advisory committee created under Laws 2009, chapter 172, article 4, section 2, subdivision 4, paragraph (b), item (ii).

The short-term measurable outcomes have been met, except for formal training of the board and volunteers. We decided to begin training once the collections policy has been formally adopted by the Board of Trustees. The other outcomes were all met at the end of the project as the contractor provided an updated collections management policy with handling procedures, and a survey report that are now under review by the Board of Trustees and awaiting adoption.
