"Many people would like to have their cake and eat it too. I think that maybe Rancho de las Golondrinas outside Santa Fe, NM is this sort of thing, a living history farm that is a 501C3 which is managed by the family that owns it."

Not quite the same as a for-profit and a non-profit split, but perhaps they could advise you on some of the issues they face. Sabrina Henneman Genesee Country Museum -----Original Message----- From: Linda Norris [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 3:55 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MUSEUM-L] museum partnerships A local family has an interest in maintaining a historic farmstead and is considering becoming a non-profit museum. However, they are also interested in exploring possible ways in which a for-profit entity (the family itself) could operate in partnership with a non-profit entity, that perhaps might own and care for the collection. There are of course, many complications and it may or may not be an idea worth pursuing for them. Off the top of my head, I'm unable to think of any examples of such partnerships and wanted to see if museum colleagues had any examples to point me too. Ideas and examples? Thanks for your help.
