Riding the Wave: How the Philanthropic Revolution will Impact Museums in the United States and Canada

<p>This capstone project explores the history of philanthropy from 1970 to the present, and presents a strategy for museums to leverage contemporary trends in nonprofit giving. The methods proposed in this project are specifically targeted at engaging new community leaders and the family members of legacy donors. I have researched and created an updated job description and hiring plan for a Transformational Gift Officer. This person would be responsible for identifying, cultivating, and stewarding the donor portfolio outlined in this project. The individual who will be successful in this role will be able to move past institutional silos and collaboratively implement the solutions proposed in this project will be the ones most able to amplify their mission impact and secure the funding from contemporary philanthropists. </p>
