No government money will be used to build or maintain the monument. The group in charge must raise all the money through private donations and is responsible for all costs.
The project must follow specific federal laws that control how monuments are designed and placed in the capital. Any extra money raised for the project will be given to the Department of the Interior to help take care of the site or other memorials.
