Financial Resource Development and Management cover

Small museums must adopt policies of financial responsibility and stability if they are to last. Through an organized commitment to transparency and accountability, small museums can achieve sound financial management just like their larger counterparts. This book offers sample fiscal policies, guides to fundraising plans, and budgeting templates to help small museums manage their money effectively. It also details the fundraising methods available to small museums and how to measure your progress towards funding goals. Lastly, the book surveys many common legal issues relating to small museums as they pertain to financial management and other topics in the series, such as copyright, human resources.

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
