AAMG Webinar – CCS Slides FINAL.10.22.20-Presentation discussed

2020 will undoubtedly go down as a year of unprecedented challenge.  Many academic museums are facing budget reductions as their colleges and universities struggle with the economic fallout of COVID 19.  In some cases, hours and staff have been reduced and opportunities for event revenue and sponsorships have been curtailed.  Nevertheless academic museums continue to be integral to the educational experience on their campuses and in their communities.  And now more than ever, trustees, board members and alumni want to know about how institutions are managing during the pandemic, and need to know about ways to help sustain them in these uncertain times.  The CARES act which passed in March of this year (and remains in effect through the end of December) provides charitable giving incentives for museum donors that may support year-end giving (and will hopefully be renewed in a future economic relief package.)  Planned giving can also be a great source of institutional support for donors who can’t make an immediate commitment.

Join us for presentations and conversation with four experts in the areas of fundraising and outreach, trustee relationships, art philanthropy and charitable giving.

Miriam E. Droller, Managing Director, CCS Fundraising

Martin Gammon, President, Pergamon Art Group providing art valuation and advisory services

Anne Lampe, CEO, Museum Trustee Association

John Sare, Attorney in the Tax-exempt Organizations practice and the Trusts and Estates group, and Partner, Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP

The panel’s 30-40 minutes of presentations (approx. 8 minutes per speaker) will be followed by 30 minutes moderated Q&A.
