I was wondering how many museums out there have there own program development or fund raising staff person. I recently attended a meeting, where it was said that MANY musuems have such, i.e., a staff member who just writes grants, raises money, etc. For smaller museums, this will even make it more competitive to obtain funding, when there is not enough funds to pay such a person...and all the larger museums are activity getting the funding.
