| OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS THE HISTORIC GERMANNA HAS RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT, GENEROUS DONATIONS FROM A SINGLE DONOR. THIS PERSON HAS ALLOWED HISTORIC GERMANNA THE ABILITY TO PIVOT FROM A GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY TO A HISTORIC SITE TELLING THE STORY OF AMERICA. WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HISTORIC GERMANNA HAS GROWN MUCH QUICKER AND IN MORE WAYS THAN WERE PREVIOUSLY IMAGINED. THIS DONOR PASSED AWAY IN LATE 2020.IN THE FALL OF 2018, HISTORIC GERMANNA ADOPTED A STRATEGIC PLAN TO RE-INTERPRET AND RE-FOCUS THE STORY WE WERE TELLING. THE DRIVING FORCE IN THIS CHANGE, FROM GENEALOGY TO HISTORIC SITE IS THE BIGGER STORY HISTORIC GERMANNA TELLS OF MIGRATION, OPPORTUNITY, AND DRIVE TO SETTLE THE FRONTIER AND HOW DIVERSE POPULATIONS WERE AFFECTED BY MIGRATION. THIS SHIFT IN DIRECTION EXPANDS OUR POTENTIAL AUDIENCE AND WILL APPEAL TO A MORE DIVERSE AUDIENCE.IN 2020, WE STARTED EXECUTION OF OUR PLAN TO BUILD SUPPORT IN THREE AREAS: GRANTS, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. DURING 2022 AND 2021 WE SAW AN INCREASE IN THESE THREE AREAS OF SUPPORT. THEY SUPPORT OUR MISSION AND ARE RESPONDING TO OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS. WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN NON-TRADITIONAL AREAS SUCH AS LOCAL COMMUNITY, PUBLIC SUPPORT GRANTS AND A RECOMMITMENT BY OUR CURRENT MEMBERSHIP POPULATION. HISTORIC GERMANNA ENGAGED IN 2022 AND 2021 THE CONSULTING FIRM OF BRYAN AND JORDAN CONSULTING TO ASSIST IN DEVELOPMENT OF FUNDRAISING PLANS, TRANSFORMING THE BOARD FROM A FRIEND'S BOARD TO A RESOURCE BOARD AND TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE IN DEVELOPING AND APPEALING TO A WIDER AUDIENCE. HISTORIC GERMANNA ALSO HIRED IN JULY 2021 A NEW DIRECTOR OF ADVANCEMENT TO HELP INCREASE PUBLIC SUPPORT.WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEING AN INCREASE IN NEW SUPPORTERS AND A RECOMMITMENT OF OUR TRADITION SUPPORTERS. IN 2022, WE RECEIVED 843 SUPPORTER PAYMENTS FROM NON-TRUSTEES. OF THOSE SUPPORTER PAYMENTS, 201 WERE RECEIVED FROM NEW SUPPORTERS. CURRENTLY, HISTORIC GERMANNA HAS A SUPPORT BASE OF OVER 4,326 INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EITHER PURCHASED PRODUCTS FROM OR DONATED TO HISTORIC GERMANNA. THIS IS A GOOD INDICATION THAT WE HAVE A BROAD POPULATION OF SUPPORTER IN THE PUBLIC REALM. THESE SUPPORTERS ARE RESPONDING TO INCREASED PROGRAMMING, MORE VISIBILITY OF THE INSTITUTION AND NEW INTEREST IN OUR MISSION.THE COVID PANDEMIC AFFECTED OUR BUSINESS MUCH AS IT DID AROUND THE NATION IN 2020 AND FIRST HALF OF 2021. MAJOR DONORS COULD NOT EXPERIENCE, FIRST-HAND, THE EXCITING THINGS GOING ON AT HISTORIC GERMANNA, THUS ENGAGEMENT OF THOSE DONORS DID NOT RESTART UNTIL MAY OF 2021. IN 2021 HISTORIC GERMANNA APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED FUNDS DURING THE 2ND ROUND OF SBA, PPP LOANS PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED RELIEF FOR BUDGET, IN LATE 2021, THIS LOAN WAS FORGIVEN. WE ALSO APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED FUNDS THROUGH OUR COMMUNITIES' GRANT PROGRAM.TO INCREASE OUR PUBLIC SUPPORT IN 2023 WE HAVE EXECUTED 23 PUBLIC PROGRAMS. WE ARE APPLYING FOR PUBLIC GRANTS AND INTRODUCING HISTORIC GERMANNA TO POTENTIAL MAJOR DONORS THROUGH THE END OF 2023. THESE INITIATIVES WILL TAKE TIME TO COME TO FRUITION, BUT WE BELIEVE WE CAN EXPAND OUR SUPPORT BASE AND ADD A CORPS OF DIVERSE SUPPORTERS FOR HISTORIC GERMANNA. OUR PUBLIC PROGRAMMING IS GEARED TO INTRODUCING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO HISTORIC GERMANNA AND THE STORY WE TELL. WE HOLD SEVERAL PUBLIC EVENTS ON OUR SITES THAT INCLUDE ARCHAEOLOGY, FAMILY ACTIVITIES AND THE HISTORY OF EACH SITE AND WHY ITS GREATER STORY IS ONE OF EARLY MIGRATION OF A DIVERSE POPULATION. OUR MISSION IS TO TELL AMERICA'S STORY THROUGH THE FRONTIER EXPERIENCE OF HER SETTLERS AND DESCENDANTS USING ARCHEOLOGICAL, HISTORICAL, AND GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH AND INTERPRETATION. IN 2023 WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR AUDIENCE WITH BOTH IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING AS WELL AS HAVING A VIRTUAL PRESENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. |
