Dear fellow list members,
I have just returned from a museum conference where reference was made to a
session offered in years past called "With Friends Like These..." focusing on
the potential benefits and pitfalls of "Friends" groups who function as
fundraisers for your museum, gallery or historic site.
Although our parent organization already has non-profit status as an educational
institution, we are in the process of setting up a non-profit group to act as a
fundraising organization to support the restoration of a historic house on campus.
Would anyone be willing to offer words of advice or caution as we embark upon
this endeavor?
Thank you in advance for your input,
Christian Carr
Director, Sweet Briar Museum
Assistant Professor of Arts Management
Sweet Briar College, Sweet Briar, VA
