What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The SHMV seeks to share the stories of Sanibel Island through the preservation of select historic structures in "the village." The challenge is implementing and completing the restorations or renovations of the building with limited resources. The endeavor became more challenging after Hurricane Ian devastated the island in September 2022 damaging most of the historic buildings in the village. SHMV and the City of Sanibel seek sufficient funds to complete the work.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our long range strategy must be to preserve the treasured historic sites that comprise the Village through life cycle maintenance planning, adequate funding and historic structure preservation standards.
Objective #1: Identify displays to be added or improved and employing standard design approaches.
Objective #2: Increase paid admission by 5% each year for 5 years beginning in FY2020-21
Objective #3: Update the inventory and documentation for all collections on display and in storage following a standardized data management system by FY 2024.
Objective #4: Review available facilities, supplement where needed and implement in FY2020-21.
Objective #5: Develop staff and volunteer personnel, implementing new measures in the fiscal years 2019-2021.

Strategies include:
#1: Recruit and retain Board members who have select knowledge and skill sets needed to advance SHMV,
#2: Recruit and retain experienced professional staff and volunteers.
#3: Develop and implement a capacity building program that includes an increased revenue stream and an endowment that will essentially fund the "cost of ownership."

SHMV currently has a strong core leadership group and volunteer base to help advance the goals, objectives and strategies.

The COVID-19 pandemic suspended many activities. The endeavor was slowed a second time because of Hurricane Ian in late September 2022. Since then, SHMV has recruited new leadership, including a new Executive Director.
