Contribution Designations
The Historic Odessa Foundation is embarking on a Capital Campaign to raise $3 million. Your gift will help us to achieve this goal and may be designated to any of the following areas:
Unrestricted Endowment
Endowment in Support of the Future Vision of Historic Odessa
Endowments in Support of the Collection and its Preservation
CURATORIAL ENDOWMENT
This is the greatest need of the Foundation. Your gift is combined with others and is permanently invested for annual income as well as principal growth. The Board of Directors will determine the percentage of income to be spent each year; that yield will be available to the staff to supplement the general budget throughout the year.
Goal: $1,000,000
The Historic Odessa strategic plan outlines new initiatives to better inform and educate the public. Examples include making collections available on-line, the interpretation of the original Tannery, creation of Walking Trails to encircle the property, and a renovation of the Barn as a venue for weddings and special events.
Goal: $1,000,000
Can be named with a gift of $750,000
