Synopsis

A characteristic of all sustainable museums is long-term financial stability. In this book, we explore how to transparently and accurately account for the financial resources you have and then provide a template for fundraising more dollars to sustain your small museum. We address grant applications and legal issues as they pertain to financial management, human resources, and other topics in the Toolkit.

About this title

Review

The Small Museum Toolkit, Book 2: Financial Resource Development and Management offers real examples, samples, and resources that are easy to understand and ready for implementation. More than just scaled-down practices from larger institutions, this is a book written by small museum professionals who understand the real issues facing our organizations--as such, I would call it a must read for anyone running a small museum.--Jenny E. Benjamin, director, Museum of Vision

What an unbelievably valuable mix of great 'at-a-glance' resources, checklists, and cases, backed by solid, from-the-trenches advice! These are tough topics for anyone--law, taxes, and fundraising--but these authors give you what you need to tackle them, even if you harbor a few doubts. Keep a couple of copies--one at-hand and one to share with staff and board.--Sarah S. Brophy, independent consultant and author of Is Your Museum Grant-Ready? and The Green Museum
