It seems like there is *always* some confusion between membership and annual giving - one place I worked used a phrase that went something like "membership is a gift you gift yourself, annual giving is a gift you give to the community" to try to make the point that membership is a quid pro quo relationship for benefits, and annual giving is a philanthropic relationship to support the institution. This explanation doesn't really work for institutions that give benefits for annual giving, though.

In an effort to help clarify terms in our development department of our
parent organization, how do you define "members" to your museum? Why are
they important to your museum? Has anyone recently started or stopped a
membership program, and why? And, how and why do you distinguish donors
from members? Any insight would be appreciated.
