We have a plexi donation box at the entrance to our hangar.  We
have recently added a sign that says this is a private museum, that
we do not seek nor accept government funds, and that we do not
receive any portion of the admission they paid to get on the
grounds of our host museum.  We're going to try different wording
on this to see what works best.  We believe that if we keep the
volume in the box below 1/2, we do better.  But we always pull $20
bills out because of a scam that was pulled on us.  It depends upon
the time of the year as to how much we get from the box, but I'm
budgeting only about $10,000 for next year, based on previous
performance.  It's not much, but it helps a little.

Hope this is helpful.
