Museums Today: Understanding Endowments and Ethics in Museums

April – Wednesday, April 12 – 6PM EDT

What are endowments? Rebekah Beaulieu, author of the recently published Endowment Essentials for Museums, will introduce the topic of museum endowments with a particular focus on the innovative ways that endowments can support your museum’s mission, from ESG (environmental, social and governance-oriented) investing to divestment.

From negotiating endowment terms with donors to advocating for your endowment with a college or university administration, this session is designed for participants of all abilities to further their understanding of endowments.
