There are no formal restrictions as to the types of requests being considered, whether programming, project or capital improvement in nature. There are never enough funds available to meet the many worthwhile requests submitted for consideration, In order to meet as many of these needs as possible within the community, and to encourage organizations to expand their permanent services without becoming dependent upon the Foundation, the Granting Committee and Trustee prefer to move their support among various charities from time to time, and not to become a continuous supporter of any organization. There is a general policy against the funding of positions, salaries or other continuing operational expenses that would subject the organization to becoming dependent upon continued foundation support. Funds will not be provided for student loans; grants/scholarships or fellowships for individual students; for endowment funds; for annual fundraisers; or for annual operating budgets. 7. These guidelines are general in nature, with the Co -trustees and Granting Committee presuming that they will make exceptions and changes in any and all of these areas, within their own discretion, as they may from time to time deem appropriate. 8. Organizations may occasionally be requested to present a personal report to the Co -trustees and Granting Committee on the use of prior grants or for presentation of a grant under consideration. This will be done on an "invitation only" basis. No organization will have the right to such an interview unless in response to a unilateral request made by the Co -trustees and Granting Committee. 9, The Co -trustees and Granting Committee may perform site visits to charitable organizations that have applied for a grant at its discretion. 10. All decisions relating to applications and grant awards are made by the Co -trustees and Granting Committee of the Mamie McFaddin Ward Heritage Trust and not by the individual members of the donor's family. 11. It is the Co -trustees and Granting Committee practice to notify all applicants of the decision concerning their requests. This usually occurs in November. All organizations who are awarded grant funds will be required to sign and return the letter agreement stating the terms of the grant award within 30 days of the notice. 12. A Final Report must be submitted upon completion of the program/project as described in the grant application or at least annually if the funds are not utilized in the time specified.

This structure, then owned by the Jefferson Amusement Company, was the foremost movie palace in Beaumont. Replete with every amenity imaginable, It was equipped with perhaps one of the most complex and intriguing inventions of all time; a pipe organ. However, this was no ordinary organ, rather it was built by Robert Morton Organ Company of Van Nuys, California, The theatre has hosted thousands of events over the years, but perhaps one of the most remembered is the Saturday Morning Organ Club held in the Jefferson, with Mr. A€ Sacker at the Organ. Only a handful of Robert Morton Organs are in their original home. Most have been destroyed, while some have removed from the theaters and put in private homes or in other venues. The exact number of Robert Morton Organs is unknown, but it is estimated that fewer than fifty Robert Morton Organs are in functioning order. The organ had many uses in its day, but the primary use was to accompany silent films, and. to "mimic" an orchestra in order to reduce the cost of leasing out an orchestra to play before and after films. The organ for the most part has been continually used over its 88 year history.

It is a wonderful candidate for expansion: with an excellent acoustical space inside the Jefferson auditorium and a lot of room for additional pipes, and copious console bolster room for additional stop controls. The additions will be as follows. The MAIN chamber: 16'- 8' Tuba Profunda - 73 pipes; 8'- 2' Tibia Clausa - 85 pipes; 8' Clarinet -- 61 pipes; The SOLO Chamber: 8' Solo Vox Humana - 61 pipes; 8' English Posthorn - 61pipes; 8' Trumpet - 61 pipes; 8' Orchestral Oboe - 61 pipes; 8' Brass Saxophone - 61 pipes; 16' Horn Diapason -- 73 pipes; 8'- 4' Salicional - 73 pipes; 8'-- 4' Voix Celeste - 73 pipes; 16' Tibia Clausa - low 12 pipes; Marimba -Harp - 49 rosewood bars. Tom Helms has all the required wind chests for the Jefferson's organ expansion, plus a few of the additional ranks. The wind chests that hold the pipes are by far the most expensive part of any pipe organ. Tom has extended a request across the country for the other needed ranks. Hopefully he can locate them in a timely manner. He may need to have several of the hard to find ranks built. Two of the three largest 16' pipes, plus the Robert -Morton Marimba/Harp are in his workshop, ready to ga. Tom is also seeking advice for the original blower in the basement of the Jefferson which is too small already. A replacement blower or an additional blower may be required. The additional console stops and switches will be ordered new to match the original stops. Tom Helms indicated that he is willing to donate all of the above (estimated value $150,000.00). It will require an additional $150,000.00 (close estimate) for all of the transportation and installation costs. The original organ, although impressive is a "bare bones" model for accompanying silent films and vaudeville acts. It currently isn't an impressive solo "star of the show" or "show stopper". It can very easily become by far the best in Texas! In a conversation with Tom, he told me that if we do this expansion, it will result in a 100 % increase in color and potential power... jazzy brass, colorful Oboes, Clarinets, Saxophones, Violins, plus a Harp too. The newly found richness and balance of tone will be thrilling. For those wanting to hear the original instrument, it will of course, be right there. All the difficult aspects have already been accomplished. It will become an even more spectacular drawing card for the Jefferson and a great educational tool for the Beaumont area. The Jefferson will gain international attention from this upgrade to the instrument.
