| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Champlin Foundation Grant Awarded in 2009 continued to utilize the last of this grant for general improvements in calendar year 2011. With this improvement grant the Beavertail Light House Musuem Association continued with its mission in the education of the general public and preservation of the historic buildings through various general and major improvments. These improvements included replaced windows and saches, metal work, and electrical improvments to the museum, the light house keepers quarters, and to the small garage that is utilized as educational building on the property. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: The Van Beuren Charitable Foundation Grant awarded in 2012 in the amount of $112,000 will be used for Beavertail Light House site preservation and museum expansion project. Another continued preservation effort of this historic site for the over 25,000 vistors annually to enjoy. The Van Beurn Grant continued in 2013 to be utilized for the museum and gift shop expansion and restoration for the over 35,000 vistors who visted the historical preserved site of Beavertail Light House Museum.The Van Beurn Grant continued in 2014 to be utilized for ther museum and gift shop restorations.

Two new video modules have been added to the large touch screen display in the interactive room. They include the NewportIda Lewis Story and the Fog Signal Building Restoration. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Fog Signal Building Restoration: Year end 2013 closed with a a generous $12,975 matching grant from the Champlin Foundations for the external repair and restoration of te Fog Signal building. The building was built after the 1938 hurricane and used by the US Coast Guard until 1972 when the fog signal was automated and moved across the road. Recently the building has been used as a Naturalist Center and Aquarium during summer months opened to BLHMA vistors. The building now requires extensive repair and donations to help pay for the BLMA $12,975 match from the Champlin Foundations will be under way in 2014 to help fund this project. Year end 2014 the the exterior restoration of the Fog Signal Building and installation of two replica fog horns trumpets was completed. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Granite Stone Retrieval: The retrieval of a carved granite stone from the Harvey Payton Schooner wreck of 1859 began in 2015 and will continue in 2016 as a few setbacks were encountered in 2015 on this program project. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Fresnel Lens Repair: In 2015 BLHM continue to access the repairs of damage that have occurred over the years to the Fresnel Lens Prisms & in 2016 they will continue to seek funds/grants for these repairs. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 9: In 2015 and continuing into 2016 members of the BLHM continue to design QR Project (Quick Response Codes), yet another educational learning tool. When completed vistors will be able to learn about BLHMA visual overlooks or subjects of interest by scanning a UP obtical lable on signs around the property. These UP lables will provide a link back to BLHMA's web site for more information about this historical site and it's surroundings. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 10: In 2016 and continuing into 2017 members & volunteers of the BLHM continue to promote the 2016/2017 Matching Gift Campaign asd it moves into high gear inviting members, the community, & vistors to contribute. For every donation made there will be a matched dollar for dollar donation by local historian James Buttrick. Currently the funds have been designated for new educational programs, new building projects, & new equipment. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 11: At the close of 2017 Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association continued with their Capital Campaign and established an Endowment Fund of which over 50% of the $600,000 goal was attained by year end 2017. This investment fund will provide an annual income for BLMA preservation projects. As we move into 2018, BLMA celebrated the 25th anniversary of its founding. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 12: As 2017 came to a close and new plans & projects were discussed for 2018, excitement and enthusiasm grew. This enthusiasm was demonstrated in the generosity from supporters' donations and matching funds toward the $600,000 Capital Campaign Endowement Fund goal. By year end 2018 97% of this goal was reached thanks to all Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association's generous supporters! In 2018 the aquarium and museum buildings roofs were replaced. As Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association moves into 2019 the Board of Directors will begin discussions for the newest project idea "Renew the View". This project will remove the overhead power lines to restore the skyline back to its 1935 historic scene. BLHMA continue their work on the historic preservation of the buildings and grounds, "making sure the Light stands tall for years to come." |
