Hello,
I'm with a small museum that has just opened up in April.  Right now we
are funded by the local Tourism Council but we would like to expand our funding
sources to beyond that.  I know that other museums and libraries use a "friends
of..." organization that basically acts as the fundraising arm.  What do I need
to do to get one started, without having it as a separate entity?  I realize the
question is vague, but I'm not even sure where to start to ask more specific
questions.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
