**Making the Case to Government, Foundation, Corporate and Individual Funders.**

_Fundraising for Impact in Libraries, Archives and Museums_ provides practical advice
that will help Libraries, Archives and Museums (LAMs) reassess how to leverage their
organisational assets in ways that support communities and help to forge productive
relationships with foundation, individual, corporate and government funders.

Drawing on the insights gleaned from interviews with more than 100 international
LAM practitioners, the book examines the common fundraising challenges that LAM 
institutions of all types and sizes face.

While LAMs strive to remain relevant and viable, Matthew emphasises how vital it
is for them to demonstrate and communicate how they benefit their communities.

The book presents five frameworks used in community development and philanthropy
and illustrates how they can help an institution to assess and communicate its impact,
focus its mission-related activities and effectively deploy proven fundraising strategies.
Highlights of the interviews are presented throughout, along with pointers, to illustrate
actionable approaches that the reader can adapt as they seek contributed financial
resources.

The reader will explore various fundraising scenarios to help secure resources including
appeals, special events, moves management, digital media, and corporate philanthropy.

_Fundraising for Impact in Libraries, Archives and Museums _is key reading for library,
archive and museum practitioners and fundraisers working around the world.
