Fund the Future

In the current year 2024-2025, four museums have been given the chance to work with David Burgess of Apollo Fundraising to receive an audit of their current strategy and plan. This will then result in a bespoke, realistic plan to improve the museum’s income generation.

The consultancy will also support implementation of the recommendations from each micro-consultancy.
