While proceeds from our events and rentals of the space help to pay for our overhead costs, this income unfortunately does not come close to providing enough to permit us to do the work yet to be done on the building. We continue to need matching funds for the capital projects that will be needed over the long term to fully accommodate the intended uses for the building, as well as sufficient funds to cover yearly operating costs of roughly $30,000/year (nearly $15,000 for insurance alone and the rest for utilities, operating and fund raising expenses. No 1867 Committee member receives any compensation for our efforts). PNJ does NOT have this money! And as renters in a lease agreement, we do not have collateral to secure loans. All that we do must be done with cash on hand. Without the continuing support of the community, we could not continue this effort, or demonstrate to possible funders the continuing interest by and support of the community to bringing this work to completion.
We greatly appreciate your support of our work!
