Hi Katie,
We have a paid part time curator and our funding for that position comes
through a Benefactor Drive that is held in Dec. each year. We flat out ask
for money for the curator's position (paid by the hour, not salaried). This
is our only source of money for that position. Letters go out to society
members and local businesses.
We have raised from $5,000 to $9,000 annually with the $9,000 a rare
occurrence. I am the curator and I work year around but the amount of hours
I work depends on the amount of money raised.
I realize that you are seeking info for full time paid person(s) so this may
not be all that much helpful to you. We decided some time ago that raising
money by bake sales, etc. just doesn't do it for us. Our banker had
contributed money to support the society and he finally suggested we ASK
people for money and it has worked for us in our situation.
We are a rather small society with very limited funds. By holding this
Benefactor drive, we do not have to touch those fund and the Benefactor
funds are kept separate from the general fund.
Please get back to me if you have further questions.
Rita Frakes, Curator
Mazomanie Historical Society

Subject: Funding for paid staff?
Hi all,
For those of you who have paid staff, where do you get your funding for
labor/salaries? We currently have a couple part-time seasonal staff members,
but are looking to expand to hopefully one full-time, year round.
Thanks,
Katie
