The fund is secure, but we must continue to add to it. The primary purpose of the endowment fund is to make sure that the trolley can be sustained through time.
One of the biggest problems with projects like this is that public interest comes and goes in cycles.
Hopefully the fund will become strong enough to get #93 through the lows to guarantee its future...
*For accounting purposes, we had hoped to keep the building fund separate from restoration expenses and other trolley expenses (liability/equipment insurance is a big one of these).
The foundation advised that this would not be possible, so just know that the Building Fund may take a hit from time to time for non-building expenses.
*NOTE: If Fenton History Center
building plans are successful, it will supersede the need for a separate trolley building. So for now, the words BUILDING FUND will be removed from these entries with the continued
use of the TROLLEY #93 NON-ENDOWED/JIM MITCHENER MEMORIAL FUND as a contingency fund for a separate trolley building should FHC plans not work out, as well as source
for current trolley expenses as it has always been. Know too, at which time the trolley is secure in its new home and current expenses become reduced, it may make sense to move some
funds from the non-endowed fund into the endowed fund

GO BACK TO MAIN.
