Workshop on fund raising

Capitalize on Collections Care: A Fund-Raising Workshop
Grey Nuns Provincial House
151, rue Despins
Winnipeg, Manitoba
April 16-17, 1998
Sponsored by the Association for Manitoba Archives and Heritage
Preservation.

As government funding for cultural organizations is increasingly
threatened in the current political climate, institutions must
expand their fund raising to new horizons: the corporate and private
sector. Through presentations, and hypothetical case studies, this
workshop will show how organizations can use their collections care
programs to target these sources and enhance efforts to raise money.

This two-day workshop will demonstrate how institutions can
incorporate preservation and conservation creatively into
fund-raising activities. Collections care can be an effective tool
for raising money and invigorating a fund-raising program,
benefiting both the collections care program and the whole
institution. Speakers and panelists have been selected to represent
a wide range of institutional types and funding projects.

This workshop is designed for librarians, archivists and museum
professionals responsible for or interested in incorporating
collections care into their fundraising activities.
