ReMuseum 2020: Fundraising in Challenging Times

In Conversation with Doug Jenzen and Randy Shulman
Interviewed by Sue Lafferty (Lead, Strategic Planning, California Surf Museum)
Thursday, November 19, 2020 12:00PM – 1:00PM

Recover. Reimagine. Revive. What does ReMuseum mean to you? Join this virtual conversation to delve deeply into the challenges that the museum field is currently facing and how our field can move forward. Come ready to dialogue!

Keeping donors engaged during difficult economic times can be challenging for museums. Quite often, funding organizations will redirect their efforts to the more immediate needs of their communities, such as social services and housing. The current pandemic is no exception. How can we continue to make the case for museums, keeping our current and future donors engaged while staying true to our mission?
