Fundraising and Strategic Planning: Innovative Approaches for
Museums appraises strategies museums employ to raise funds
including admission prices, membership categories, donor and
affinity groups, and specialized event-driven efforts while
examining new crowdfunding models such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo,
and Piggybackr. This book examines a range of ambitious
undertakings and the means by which museums and cultural
organizations achieve them. Each of the case studies in this volume
focuses on the cornerstones to museum operations: strategic
planning and fundraising. For example, Carl G. Hamm describes how
Saint Louis Art Museum moved from a capital campaign into a
sustainable stream of increased annual giving. Vicky U. Lee
narrates the transformation of abandoned, elevated rail yards into
an exciting, well-travelled (and highly-tagged and pinned) public
amenity, the High Line. While not a museum per se, the High Line
and its public art amenities offers much to the story of collecting
institutions, as well as to the framework of the public-private
partnership. The Innovative Approaches for Museums series offers
case studies, written by scholars and practitioners from museums,
galleries, and other institutions, that showcase the original,
transformative, and sometimes wholly re-invented methods,
techniques, systems, theories, and actions that demonstrate
innovative work being done in the museum and cultural sector
throughout the world. The authors come from a variety of
institutions-in size, type, budget, audience, mission, and
collection scope. Each volume offers ideas and support to those
working in museums while serving as a resource and primer, as much
as inspiration, for students and the museum staff and faculty
training future professionals who will further develop future
innovative approaches. Contributions by: Karen Coutts, Mike
Deetsch, Nancy Enterline, Karen Gillenwater, Amy Gilman, Carl G.
Hamm, Greg Hardison, Jill Hartz, Peter J. Kim, Vicky U. Lee, James
G. Leventhal, Melissa A. Russo, and Irina Zeylikovich
