  • 1.  MOU between Friends groups and Museums--can you share examples?

    Posted 3 days ago

    Please excuse cross-posting-

     

    My museum has had a wonderful Friends group for many years, but we've never established a formal MOU with them, and it's well past time to cross our Ts and dot our Is.

     

    We are a municipally owned museum and our Friends are a 501(c)(3).  Is anyone willing to share sample MOUs from their or other facilities?  Just wanting to be sure we have everything included we should and/or get a good idea of the appropriate framework.

     

    Thanks in advance for your help!

     

    Take care,

    Rena Lawrence, Log Cabin Village (Fort Worth)

    What a great question. While I don't have an example, I have a story. I'm on the board of directors for our local library, and my wife is on the Friends of the Library board. I asked both our Director and my wife (the treasurer of the Friends) and both said we don't. But it's sparked a conversation as we have a new Library Director starting next year! Thanks for the question @Rena Lawrence and I'll be watching for examples!

    Hi, Rena!  I am a retired museum director helping the local Historical Society (501(c)(3)) AND Historical Commission (municipally appointed).  I have been encouraging them to do the same... and would be interested in what the hive mind returns!  Vivian
