Robin,

Here is where AAM can give you a hand, as they have an entire section on advocacy and also two templates to use to show economic and educational impact of your museum on the community. There's also a link to sample economic impact statements.

Go to http://www.aam-us.org/advocacy/resources for the links--you don't have to be an AAM member to use them.

Hope this helps.

For those of you who have written an economic impact statement for your museum, how do you define “community”?  In writing one for my small museum ($240,000 budget) in my small town, I’m not sure how best to define our economic community. Should it include only our county or surrounding counties, or should it be done by a 50 mile radius from the museum?
