CAPITALIZE ON COLLECTIONS CARE:  A FUNDRAISING WORKSHOP
OCTOBER 28, 1996
9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
MISSION INN, RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA
Registration Fee:  $60 CAM Members / $75 General  (includes lunch and site
tour)

This all-day workshop is designed for directors, development officers,
curators and other museum professionals responsible for, or interested in,
incorporating collections care into their fundraising activities.

As federal funds for cultural institutions are increasingly threatened in the
current political climate, institutions must expand their fund raising to new
horizons.  To address this issue,  the California Association of Museums
(CAM) and the National Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Property
(NIC) are cosponsoring this workshop at the Historic Mission Inn in
Riverside, CA.  The program will teach how museums, libraries, and historic
preservation organizations can make a fundraising case using collections
care.  The program focuses on the private sector and state and local
governments as new sources of support for collections care, conservation and
preservation.

“Capitalize on Collections Care” will demonstrate how institutions can
creatively incorporate collections care, conservation and preservation into
fundraising activities.  Collections care CAN be an effective tool for
raising money and invigorating a fundraising program.  The program will teach
creative approaches to integrating collections care into basic fundraising
strategies such as annual appeals, capital campaigns, earned income, planned
giving and adopt-an-object programs.
