Thank You Bravo!

On July 6 of this year we received notification that we will be receiving a Bravo Cultural Enrichment Grant in the amount of $3,500. The grant will be used to purchase video recording and editing equipment to help us tell the Des Moines Ordnance Plant story.

Bravo Greater Des Moines is a nonprofit organization that assists the cultural community in providing greater Des Moines with an enriched quality of life. The city of Ankeny gives a portion of their Hotel-Motel tax to Bravo.
