Collections are central to the mission of most cultural institutions, from libraries and archives to museums and historical societies. Finding and sustaining funds to care for those collections, however, can often be a daunting task. In this five-part course, we explored fundraising strategies that to empower you—whether you’re a seasoned fundraiser or a rookie—to embrace this essential endeavor. We reviewed the basics of creating a fundraising plan, where to look for support, how to cultivate individual donors and members, how to write successful proposals, and creative ideas for funding your collections care projects.

According to the publication Capitalize on Collections Care, individuals are the most consistent supporters of nonprofit organizations and are the most likely source for external preservation funding. Learn how to cultivate those individuals and build lasting relationships. From making the “ask” to keeping them interested through member, donor, friend, and capital campaigns, this webinar will help you build a program that connects you with the people who care about your mission.
