Starting up a Donor Circle
In my talk, I will present how we at the National museum started a Donor Circle in 2019. Our main goal with the Donor Circle is to be able to support conservation of museums objects that are too difficult or challenging to handle in the everyday line of work. Working with a tight group of interested philanthropies has gained the museum not only much needed funding but new insights on how to improve our work from other perspectives.
Key learnings from this talk: dos and don’ts when starting a donor circle, PR and fundraising, new ways of working with conservation projects.
