Financial Resource Development and Management

Reviews / Votes

What an unbelievably valuable mix of great 'at-a-glance' resources, checklists, and cases, backed by solid, from-the-trenches advice! These are tough topics for anyone-law, taxes, and fundraising-but these authors give you what you need to tackle them, even if you harbor a few doubts. Keep a couple of copies-one at-hand and one to share with staff and board. -- Sarah S. Brophy, independent consultant and author of Is Your Museum Grant-Ready? and The Green Museum The Small Museum Toolkit, Book 2: Financial Resource Development and Management offers real examples, samples, and resources that are easy to understand and ready for implementation. More than just scaled-down practices from larger institutions, this is a book written by small museum professionals who understand the real issues facing our organizations-as such, I would call it a must read for anyone running a small museum. -- Jenny E. Benjamin, director, Museum of Vision With tons of helpful checklists and worksheets, lists of resources and websites for further study, and real-world case studies discussing the very situations that small museums face, Financial Resource Development and Management will become an invaluable reference book. As a grant funder, I especially appreciate Benjamin Hruska's roadmap for obtaining grants in [Chapter 3]. .... We definitely will be recommending this chapter to first-time grant applicants to the Connecticut Humanities Council from now on! -- Scott Wands, Heritage Resource Center & Field Services Director, Connecticut Humanities Council
