The Olaf Wieghorst Museum has established a Roof Fund.
Our roof is leaking! Our heating and air conditioning systems keep breaking down!
Our energy bills are too high!
We need a new roof and we have created a special account – the Roof Fund – for these capital improvements.
The purpose of the fund is to re-roof the museum, replace two HVAC units and install rooftop solar.
For the project at hand we have a budget as follows:
New roof – $31,000
HVAC (two units) $16,000
Contingencies $3,000
And if we are able, we would like to make the museum energy self-sufficient by adding a solar roof.
Solar system $30,000
With a solar system we will lower our carbon footprint by eliminating our natural gas usage.
Here is our progress to date.
Amount Raised
$16,180 (September 8, 2022)
Amount Pledged
up to $ 15,000
The Museum Foundation has received a matching donation pledge of $15,000.
With the matching pledge we have secured funding for the first phase of our capitol improvement project – a new roof.
Help us reach the next milestone – replacing our heating and air condtioning (HVAC) systems!
