A portion of the funding would be used to <br />pay salaries of staff who are developing, researching, writing, fabricating, and <br />installing these exhibits as well as purchase items, materials, supplies, and <br />printing needed to produce these exhibits. <br />One of our biggest priorities continues to be providing educational opportunities <br />for the K-12 residents of Orange County. This includes hosting field trips, <br />providing lesson plans and other educational resources to teachers, making <br />traveling trunks available to schools, and hosting age-appropriate educational <br />activities. A portion of the funding will be used to pay salaries of staff creating, <br />planning, and facilitating these opportunities as well as purchase necessary <br />supplies. <br />A large component of our educational program is our Kids’ Space, a hands-on <br />learning space for children to interact with history through play, featuring <br />interactive stations themed around the diverse people and places of Hillsborough <br />in 1823. A portion of the funds will be used to upkeep this space, purchasing new <br />handling items and repairing and replacing those that are damaged through play. <br />The remaining funding will be used to cover the purchase of general supplies and <br />equipment needed to support the day-to-day operations of the Museum and its <br />staff. <br />In summary, requested funding will be used to pay salaries of staff completing <br />the scope of work, including operating the Museum, producing exhibits, <br />facilitating educational opportunities, and purchasing necessary supplies for <br />exhibits, educational activities, Kids’ Space, and general Museum operations. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 711B0470-AB31-4239-BFAB-654356E2FD21
