Background:
The CRA awarded EPOCH a $80,000 A-GUIDE grant in the CRA FY 2018-2019 budget, which is 29% of EPOCH’s budget of $276,785. The CRA also provided EPOCH $31,000 this year to replace funding typically received from the City for a total amount of funding of $111,000 which represents 40% of EPOCH’s budget. The grant was awarded for Museum Programming.
Program “A”: Museum Programming
Overall, all outputs and outcomes are on target to meet yearly expectations. Ride and Remember Tour rides in the first quarter are typically low (9% -13%). They should increase during season and be reflected in the second and third quarters. However, some events including, the MLK Breakfast and Juneteen Celebration, Living Heritage Festival and Youth Cultural Camp are scheduled to occur during another time period and results will be reported accordingly.
The following outcomes exceeded annual expectations:
• Museum visitors that live outside Palm Beach County (155%)
• Museum visitors spend money in Delray Beach (122%)
• Ride and Remember Tour visit at least one other historical venues in Delray Beach on the day of tour (105%)
Please review the attached worksheet for the progress (in percentages) of all outputs and outcomes which includes narrative response to all outputs and outcomes that are below expectations as of the 1st quarter.
