    Hi,

    I am the Executive Director of the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County in Freehold, NJ. Unfortunately, like many other museums and public institutions, we had to close our doors until May. With the lack of income, the museum is struggling greatly. I was looking to see how other fundraising professionals are handling this unexpected situation caused by COVID-19. I want to make a donor pitch, but I am unsure how to go about it since many would rather donate money to healthcare organizations than a museum.

    Sincerely,
    Jessica Solomon
    Executive Director, JHMOMC
