Hello colleagues--

I have a request from the descendants of a particular Native American  
family for the loan of an item from our collection to be shown during  
a family meeting.  With some requirements, I am willing to accommodate  
their request (I feel like this is an exceptional case).  This is not  
a repatriation, just a way of connecting family and objects and  
Museum.  But it would require travel (it could be hand carried by a  
Museum courier, which is the best way I can think of--that way someone  
can be with the object).

Has anyone had success in finding funding to cover this sort of  
expense?  It is, of course, a short time frame. And I don't have the  
budget for it..

Thanks for any advice!

Margaret
