The Siouxland Heritage Foundation has announced a $1,500 donation from Sioux City Chapter of the NAACP for the "Our New Museum" capital campaign. The check was presented by Flora Lee, president of the local NAACP chapter, and Richard Hayes, treasurer of the organization.
The National NAACP celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2009. The Sioux City Chapter of the NAACP traces its roots back to 1937 and has been consistently active in the community since 1947. The organization hosts an annual Freedom Fund banquet that serves as its only fundraiser.
The "Our New Museum" capital campaign continues to raise funds from a broad cross section of the community, including local organizations, foundations, businesses, and individuals. To date, more than $8.6 million has been raised for the new museum facility. The new museum will contain multipurpose classrooms, offices, a conference room, artifact and exhibition preparation rooms, food prep space, a theater, large temporary exhibit spaces, archival storage, and a gift shop.
The nonprofit 501(c)(3) Siouxland Heritage Foundation was created to oversee design, construction and fund-raising of the new Sioux City Public Museum in downtown Sioux City.
