THE HULL HOUSE FOUNDATION WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL IN MANAGING THROUGH THE REGULATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS WITH THE SAFETY OF ITS GUESTS AND VOLUNTEERS REMAINING THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. WE FOCUSED OUR ATTENTION TO THREE MAIN PRIORITIES: FINANCIAL STABILITY: OUR FUNDRAISING EVENTS WERE MODIFIED TO COMPLY WITH REGULATIONS AND GENERATED NET REVENUES THAT MET OUR BUDGET PROJECTIONS. WE WERE PROUD TO ACHIEVE A KEY MILESTONE IN 2021 IN OUR ENDOWMENT FUND CAMPAIGN. PHASE I OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMENCED IN 2017 WITH AN INITIAL FIVE- YEAR GOAL OF 100,000. WE SURPASSED THAT GOAL EARLY. BY THE END OF 2021, WE REACHED 120% OF THAT GOAL AND ARE PLANNING TO COMMENCE PHASE II IN EARLY 2022. WE ALSO ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE BUFFALO COMMUNITY FOUNDATION TO MANAGE THE INVESTMENT OF THE FUND. WE BELIEVE THAT A STRONG ENDOWMENT FUND IS A KEY TO THE LONG-TERM STABILITY OF OUR ORGANIZATION. WE SAW NO SIGNIFICATE CHANGES IN OUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE GRANT AND SPONSORSHIP REVENUES, WHICH ARE KEY TO SUSTAINING NORMAL OPERATIONS AND FUNDING NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS. SITE DEVELOPMENT: WITH THE RESTORATION OF THE HISTORIC FARM HOUSE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE, THE ORGANIZATION HAS SHIFTED ITS FOCUS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FARMSTEAD GROUNDS. THIS INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION/RECREATION OF SEVERAL STRUCTURES THAT WERE PART OF THE HULL FAMILY FARMING OPERATIONS BUT HAVE LONG BEEN DEMOLISHED. IT IS KEY TO UNDERSTANDING OUR MISSION THAT SITE RESTORATION IS A TOOL TO ACCOMPLISH OUR PRIMARY MISSION, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE AN EDUCATION EXPERIENCE ON AN AUTHENTIC CAMPUS WHERE VISITORS AND STUDENTS CAN LEARN THROUGH "LIVING HISTORY". THREE MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN SITE DEVELOPMENT WERE: THE ACQUISITION OF A 200 YEAR OLD BARN THAT WILL BE PROFESSIONALLY RECONSTRUCTED ON THE HULL HOUSE SITE IN THE LOCATION IDENTIFIED BY ARCHEOLOGY STUDIES OF THE FARM'S "THRESHING BARN". THE ENGINEERING STUDIES AND TOWN CONSTRUCTION PERMITS ARE NOW IN PLACE SO THAT WORK CAN COMMENCE TO RECONSTRUCT THE BARN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WE ALSO NEARLY COMPLETED RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FARM'S "ROOT CELLAR", THE FOUNDATION OF WHICH WAS UNEARTHED OVER TEN YEARS AGO BY OUR ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS. WE COMMENCED RENOVATION OF A NON-HISTORIC BUT KEY MAINTENANCE BARN ON SITE THAT INCLUDES A NEW ROOF, PAINTING, WINDOW REPLACEMENTS, AND A SMALL EXPANSION FOR STORAGE OF MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR PROGRAMS TARGETED ADULT AND FAMILY AUDIENCES. EXAMPLES OF OUR EXPANDED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN 2021 WERE: WE DEVELOPED ADDITIONAL HULL FAMILY CHARACTERS, NAMELY, WARREN HULL AND DAUGHTER SOPHIA HULL TO BE PORTRAYED IN OUR EDUCATIONAL TOUR ENTITLED "MEET THE PAST". WE DEVELOPED A "WALK THROUGH HISTORY" TOUR THAT PRESENTED DOMINANT LOCAL EVENTS AND LOCAL CHARACTERS FROM THE WAR OF 1812 IN OUR EFFORT TO EDUCATE OUR GUESTS ABOUT THAT PIVOTAL TIME IN WESTERN NEW YORK. WE EXPANDED OUR "HERITAGE DAYS" FORMAT, BRINGING IN VISITORS FOR HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES AND DEMONSTRATIONS. WE BROUGHT BACK AND IMPROVED OUR "HISTORY CAMP FOR KIDS" PROGRAM FOR INTERMEDIATE GRADE STUDENTS, WHO LEARN THE HISTORY OF WNY AND FARMSTEAD LIFE IN AN AUTHENTIC SETTING WITH WELL TRAINED DOCENTS AND TEACHERS.
