Jessica and listers, we hope to do the same, to endow 2 part-time collections mgt. positions. In particular, I am interested in your stories of raising an endowment for this purpose (or raising an endowment for another museum purpose). What worked, what didn't, and what you wished you'd know at the start. Thanks.

Dear Wise Listers,

I'm looking for firsthand experience stories, best practices, and problems to avoid when attempting to endow a curatorial position. So far I have the position description and financials. I know many endowed positions are named after the endower(s) - Jane Doe Curator of Stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jessica B. Phillips
Executive Director
Fraunces Tavern Museum
