History Center Funding
Consideration of an Agreement with the Des Plaines History Center for the Provision of Funding for Services – RESOLUTON R-33-23
During the 2023 Budget deliberations the Des Plaines History Center requested a $60,000 subsidy from the City for the administration of the History Center programs as well as special events. The additional funding will be used for expanded programs, events, and outreach to help make historical and educational resources more accessible to the public. The Des Plaines History Center is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization that operates through the work of paid staff and volunteers, under the guidance and supervision of a Board of Trustees. The History Center serves in many ways as a community center, is open to the public, and provides programs, exhibits, and access to research in historical archival collections.
