I notice there have not been responses to your question.

 

I think it might be helpful if you identify yourself and/or your institution, and tell the list why you are interested. Trying to get more diverse funding for your site?   Working as a fundraising consultant?  Interested in donating to a museum?

 

Then again, people might just be outside in the Spring weather instead of on their computers!

I am very interested in the funding mix for small museums. How many have most of their operating funds from memberships? What major sources are there for grant funds. Some state help is always useful but I think often unreliable. Are there major foundations or common local foundations (community chest for example) that commonly fund small museums?   Thanks.
