  • 1.  DONATED BUILDING!!

    Posted 09-06-2016 09:26 AM
    We are in the process of opening a new museum in a small town.  There is a nice building of which we are interested in having donated to us for a two year or five year run before deciding to be permanent.  What are our requirements and what does the donor has to do?   We also feel the donor will be motivated to let us use the building.   I know we will have to have an attorney involved.  Any experience in these matters?

    HI Jim - 

    is your museum entity a 501(c)3?  That is a necessary first step.
