What’s New in Museums

Capital Campaign Fundamentals
Founders find themselves learning and leading all aspects of starting up a children’s museum, but the one responsibility that sits heaviest on the founder’s shoulders is fundraising. There’s no escaping that money must be raised, and a lot of it.

Intentional Founding Board Recruitment
“What can I do to make our board of directors more effective?” This persistent question will likely stay with a children’s museum through all stages of its lifecycle because it’s difficult for any mission-driven organization to be its “best self” unless its board of directors has what it takes to lead the way. It’s a big job.

Time is the most valuable thing to spend
Great results take time and take the efforts of the whole team. Having a method for keeping everyone on the same page with how things are progressing can make the difference in ensuring that all the elements come together.
