I am sure there was much more funding for Mt. Rushmore than this, LtS.

Crazy Horse Memorial has received many generous gifts of construction equipment and materials over the years. Such equipment has served the Memorial well, but we face a constant challenge of replacing aging equipment. The mountain crew is still using donated equipment that is 30 or more years old.

The only funding this has is from visitor contributions and a few pieces of equipment from companies or one-time fundraisers.

I actually found the other pages at the website of much more interest, though it would be kind of interesting to watch the webcam when they are blasting.
