Ms. Monnat,
    I work with a group known as the Friends of the Hancock House our
primary goal is to make the area and especially the local community aware of
the site(which is stsate owned). We provide local programming on our own, as
well as conjuntive programming with the State of New Jersey. WE also provide
A " History to Go" package which we use to assist schools in education.
    Our member ship is open to all whofeel a desire to help us attain our
mission. Memeber ship varies from $25 for an individual to you name it. Most
of our members who are active however, have usually a link back to William
Hancock somehow. If I can answer any other questions feel free to email me.
WE do not ask any members for additional funds beyond membership fees.

Subject: "Friends" groups


> I am looking for organizations who have "Friends" member or donor groups.
> These groups make gifts to a certain aspect of the museum or organization-
> for example Friends of Landscapes, Friends of the Library, etc. Our
> organization is restructuring one of our Friends groups and perhaps adding
> more, and we are hoping to speak with some other organizations about
> procedures. For example, is there a minimum donation requirement to be a
> "Friend" of something, what are the benefits, are they automatically
> considered general members of the organization, how does annual giving fit
> in, etc. This is less related to upper-level member groups (who are
> sometimes called "Friends") and more related to people who give restricted
> donations of any amount to a certain area of the museum. If your
> organization or any organization you can think of has such groups, your
> response would be greatly appreciated.
