Its annual operating and capital program revenues come from its own private trust fund assets and federal appropriations, with the majority of funds for facilities coming from federal appropriations. In 2005, GAO reported that the Smithsonian's current funding would not be sufficient to cover its estimated $2.3 billion in facilities projects through 2013 and recommended that the Smithsonian Board of Regents, its governing body, develop and implement a funding plan. As requested, GAO described changes in the condition of the Smithsonian's facilities and estimate for project costs since 2005, analyzed the Smithsonian's steps taken and challenges regarding protecting and managing its real property portfolio, and assessed the Smithsonian's efforts to develop and implement strategies to fund its facilities' projects. GAO reviewed relevant documents and interviewed officials from the Smithsonian and other organizations. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1127/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1127.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1127/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1127.pdf GAO-07-1127 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1127 Other Written Product GAO-07-1127; Smithsonian Institution: Funding Challenges Affect Facilities' Conditions and Security, Endangering Collections; Cost analysis Facility repairs Facility security Federal facilities Federal funds Fund audits Funds management Museums National historic sites Performance measures Physical security Real property Strategic planning Facility management Facility maintenance Facility construction Cost estimates Volume 115 Page 461 115 Stat. 461 Volume 117 Page 11 Volume 117 Page 1298 117 Stat. 11 117 Stat. 1298 Volume 119 Page 545 119 Stat. 545 Public Law 107-63 Public Law 108-7 Public Law 108-108 Public Law 108-447 Public Law 109-54
