Being small and immensely popular, it was usually overcrowded.<\/p>\n<p>The brilliant team at the museum set out to find a bigger space and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/Fg2LeK1H7Ks?si=1dhbbhS5nPafG9pG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ran a successful capital campaign<\/a> to expand to a much larger location.<\/p>\n<p>The new space was phenomenal\u2014from outdoor climbing and obstacle courses, interactive exhibits that spanned life-size light-up games, to aeronautics with flying balls, to roller coaster physics, to water play with sound bowls.<\/p>\n<p>Adults had as much fun as the children. The development director recruited members to become donors at invitation-only \u2018after-hours\u2019 events, where the adults roamed the museum, slid down slides, and tinkered and played at every exhibit to their hearts\u2019 content. Like the set of the movie <em>Night at the Museum<\/em>, these guests had the whole museum to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>There was just one problem. Despite the museum\u2019s much-expanded footprint, it still had massive overcrowding.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from giving to the capital campaign or a traveling exhibit, most of the museum\u2019s fundraising asks were to give to their open-door policy that provided free entry for families without the financial resources to pay for admission.<\/p>\n<p>Admirable goal. But hard to sell when the space was packed to the gills with hordes of families and a madhouse of children trying to play at each exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of members\u2014especially those lucky enough to go to the after-hours events\u2014wanted a museum experience that didn\u2019t involve fighting crowds.<\/p>\n<p>Members asked staff whether they might add a fee or an <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/blog\/affordable-membership-perks-to-delight-nonprofit-members\/\">exclusive member benefit<\/a> at a higher member level for the special perk of \u2018free range playtime\u2019 before the museum opened to the public, after-hours or overnight events, but the staff wasn\u2019t interested.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a museum, arts, or culture organization, you may be in this same dilemma. On the surface, it may look like space is the issue. It isn\u2019t. It\u2019s understanding donor motivations.<\/p>\n<p>Most fundraising is helping \u2018other people.\u2019 But when you\u2019re fundraising for <a href=\"https:\/\/bloomerang.com\/results\/cause\/arts-culture-humanities\/\">arts or cultural organizations<\/a>, donations don\u2019t *just* help other people. They also benefit the donor. Yes, other people do indeed get something out of it, but donors generally give to enrich their lives.<\/p>\n<p>A big reason why members choose to become donors is to enhance their own experience. It\u2019s critical for the fundraising staff who handle membership to understand what motivates these donors.<\/p>\n<p>Here are four different donor motivations and how you can use them in your fundraising to raise more gifts from members for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/customers\/?segments=arts-culture-humanities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">museum, cultural, or arts organization<\/a>:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Donor benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Benefits are anything donors receive that enhances their experience. They can be practical, like premium parking, early access to sell-out tickets, access to lounges or the museum before or after regular operating hours, access to private events or exclusive events, or discounts for the gift shop or merchandise. Consider offering more aesthetic benefits like meet-the-artist events, backstage passes, tickets to dress rehearsals, and more.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Sustaining the museum (or art form)<\/h2>\n<p>Donors realize that it costs more to run a museum than their membership fees and that donations fill the gap. Their passion for your museum\u2014or art form, preservation, or conservation efforts\u2014drives them to give, ensuring these cherished spaces remain open and thriving. Engage these donors by reminding them of the emotions and experiences your museum evokes, using compelling storytelling to deepen their connection and inspire continued support.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of that in a monthly giving appeal targeting donors to a preservation organization:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear %Firstname%,<\/p>\n<p>Your generosity and kindness protect the trails and forests of the beautiful Blue Hills.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine that each time you come to the Blue Hills, you feel like I do.<\/p>\n<p>Calmer. Happier. Rejuvenated.<\/p>\n<p>When I visit the Blue Hills, I leave happier. If I\u2019m with my family, we feel closer. After I bike or hike alone, I feel more connected to myself. Peaceful and grateful.<\/p>\n<p>The walks I take each week remind me that the Blue Hills is a sacred space, first cared for by indigenous peoples. And now, it&#8217;s my turn to do my part.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I joined a dedicated group of supporters by becoming a Best Friend of the Blue Hills with a $50 monthly donation.<\/p>\n<p>Because of your love for our beautiful Blue Hills, I\u2019m sending you this special invitation today to join our monthly giving club, Best Friends of the Blue Hills.<\/p>\n<p>When you become a Best Friend of the Blue Hills, you provide a steady and reliable source of income to ensure the preservation of the forest and trails you love.<\/p>\n<p>%Firstname%, it\u2019s only with your monthly gift that we can preserve these trails and native plant species.<\/p>\n<p>Your generous monthly gift of:<\/p>\n<p>$10 = Buys supplies to cut branches that block the trails.<\/p>\n<p>$15 = Sends an ecologist to train volunteers to remove invasives at Fowl Meadow<\/p>\n<p>$20 = Sends a trail maintenance expert to train volunteers to reduce soil erosion<\/p>\n<p>If you sign up before March 3rd, you can raise an extra $5,000 through a generous donor match!<\/p>\n<p>%Firstname%, when you become a Best Friend <i>today,<\/i> you\u2019ll make sure the Blue Hills will be there for all of us to enjoy <i>tomorrow<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Please, will you be our best friend?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your love and support of the Blue Hills!<\/p>\n<p>For the Blue Hills,<\/p>\n<p>John Doe<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Donate before March 3 to ensure an additional $5,000 is given to the Blue Hills!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>3. Recognition<\/h2>\n<p>Donors who give to the arts like the recognition that comes with their gift. Hence, lots of naming opportunities\u2014from the seats to the bricks outside, to programs, to endowed chairs. Here\u2019s a great example of how the National WWII Museum does that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTake a moment to reflect on your personal connection to World War II. Maybe your father or grandfather served in the Pacific or fought across the plains of Europe. Or perhaps your mother or grandmother supported the war effort by powering the \u201carsenal of democracy\u201d here at home. Whatever their involvement, it deserves permanent recognition on the Honor Roll at America\u2019s National WWII Museum. Become a member today and ensure that your family\u2019s legacy is never forgotten.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>4. Community pride<\/h2>\n<p>Many philanthropists and corporate sponsors support museums and arts organizations to boost the quality of life in the cities they hold dear. To magnify these feelings in your donors, speak with them directly about the role your museum (or art form) plays in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Take the Brooklyn Museum, for example:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Brooklyn Museum is one of the world\u2019s most welcoming and contemporary encyclopedic museums and is every bit Brooklyn: creative, relevant, diverse, and trailblazing. When you join as a Member, you celebrate the great art, big ideas, and courageous conversations that can only be found here.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, what\u2019s the secret to turning members into passionate donors? It\u2019s all about understanding what drives them. When you tap into their motivations\u2014whether it&#8217;s enhancing their experience, sustaining the museum, receiving recognition, or boosting community pride\u2014you create a deeper connection. These aren\u2019t just one-time gifts; they\u2019re investments in a shared love for the arts and culture. Keep your finger on the pulse of what matters most to your members, and you\u2019ll find your fundraising efforts meet and exceed expectations.<\/p>\n<p><em>Was your museum or arts organization able to raise more gifts from members?
