AG RELIEF GRANT

THIS GRANT FUNDING WOULD BE ESSENTIAL IN SUPPORTING THE MAGNOLIA HOUSE'S EXISTING STAFF AND ENSURING OPERATIONS CAN CONTINUE. WHILE THE FACILITY IS CURRENTLY OPEN FOR TOURS, THE SHOEBOX LUNCH PROGRAM, AND VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS, MAGNOLIA HOUSE LEADERSHIP RECENTLY DETERMINED THAT THE SITE WOULD HAVE TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC BEGINNING IN JULY DUE TO A LACK OF VISITATION AND RELATED FUNDING. ASIDE FROM FOOD COSTS AND EXHIBIT-DESIGN COSTS, THE LARGEST OPERATING COST FOR THE ORGANIZATION IS IN STAFFING, WITH KITCHEN STAFF, DOCENTS, AND THE HISTORIC SITE MANAGER ENSURING THAT THE ORGANIZATION CAN SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY DELIVER EDUCATIONAL HUMANITIES CONTENT TO THE PUBLIC. AS A RESULT, FUNDING TOWARD SALARIES WOULD ALLOW THE MAGNOLIA HOUSE TO REOPEN AND CONTINUE DELIVERING ALL OF ITS EDUCTIONAL PROGRAMMING, PARTICULARLY FIELD TRIPS AND THE SHOEBOX LUNCH PROGRAM.
