Robust and Moving Boldly Forward Is Perhaps the Best Way to Describe the Overall Fiscal Health of the Institution This Past Year Finances Robust and moving boldly forward is perhaps the best way to describe the overall fiscal health of the institution this past year. Revenues ex- ceeded budget by $1.2 million, thanks primarily to Memberships and Admissions, and helped in part by a modest increase in admission prices, coupled with a growth in the number of people who came for a visit and liked it so much they became members. In addition to contributions, nearly all categories of earned revenues exceed- ed budget at year’s end, including facility rentals and events, royalties, food services, filming, The Huntington Store, and plant sales. From a financial perspective, the big story of the year was the opening of the Steven S. Koblik Education and Visitor Center (EVC), an ambi- tious project paid for entirely from donor con- tributions. The complex of buildings and gar- dens created new operating costs, which included equipment maintenance, insurance, utility costs, and supplies. The facilities also required addi- tional staff members in many divisions across the institution, including Botanical, Member- ship and Visitor Services, The Huntington Store, Facilities, and Special Events. A dramatic boost in sales at The Huntington Store led to increased purchases to stock the store with more inventory. Fortunately, The Huntington was able to offset these increased costs through the boost in attendance, as mentioned earlier, and from income earned from the new facilities. Other significant capital investments occurred during the year, including the construction of five new rooms in the Lois and Robert F. Erbu- ru Gallery of the Virginia Steele Scott Galler- ies of American Art, and technology invest- ments throughout the institution, including migration to cloud-based storage. The Huntington’s restricted giving provides critical support to many programs.
