The key to successful fundraising is asking smarter questions. We’re here to talk about “Raising More Money By Asking and Answering Better Questions.” There’s also a Q&A box specifically, your questions might be a little more visible there if you use that one. We’ll take questions at the end.

We thought so, so we put together a short list of items we felt could trigger meaningful conversations just in time for end-of-year reflection and 2019 planning. . Think carefully about what questions could result in data points that can help guide funding decisions, smart partnerships, and stronger board relationships.

Other people submit questions they'd like to have answered by strangers. Mercedes and Zachary pick people randomly out of the database, call them, and ask a contributed question. I've written before about how, when designing questions for use with visitors, staff should make sure they genuinely care to hear the answer.

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

OCTOBER 9, 2008

Yesterday, in preparation for a session I'm doing at BlogHer Boston , I created a quiz for folks to self-assess how much information overload was a factor. One of the questions was to identify whether or not you are spending too much time online. So, that question was revised!

The networking was fabulous - meeting many new bloggers in the Boston area as well as seeing long-time blogher buddies and of course, Jory, Lisa, and Elisa. Participants shared some great ideas in the reflection forms and I will do a round up later this week.

A minute later I noticed Pistachio's tweet about flying Virgin America from Boston and Glenn Stratchan direct messaged me asking what seat I was in because he thought we might be on the same Virgin America flight. . One of the questions that also came up in my mind was: What's the difference between a community of practice and a network?

The ICA in Boston probably did a pretty good job of that. NS: I guess a bigger question about these bankers is the extent to which they are involved philanthropically, irrespective of focus. It''s one of the big questions where I am, near Silicon Valley. And of course it is a reflection of certain haves and have nots in society.

I went to two science centers, one huge (Museum of Science Boston) and one tiny (Acton Science Discovery Museum), and told them: "I'll work for you for free for three months, and then let's talk about whether you are going to pay me." By the spring of 2003 I felt I'd learned what I could in Boston and tried to figure out where to go next.

My first two questions (What do they have? The Boston Library main branch used to have an “ask a librarian” booth in the front featuring a person sitting at a card table with some books. Or perhaps that it would be hard to come up with a system that would fairly reflect the diversity of staff/visitors. What do I want to see/do?)

To address these questions, I sat down with Steve Tokar and Beth Katz, evaluators who deal with design for visitors. At the Boston MFA, they are building in seating as an integral part of each gallery design. Why doesn’t the whole Museum of Art and History look and feel like the coffee shop? What do you think?

Institutions like the Boston Children's Museum (which she helped lead in the 1970s) drew heavily from and worked in partnership with the "open classroom" movement to develop informal educational models that are interactive, open-ended, and individualized. Consider other family-oriented products: toys, media, schools.

Of course, there's a basic tension for museums that feel both "the obligation to be reflective and considerate, and the seeming imperative to react to emergent issues." The Boston Museum of Science includes the Current Science and Technology center (CS&T), which puts up modular exhibits and revolving programs on contemporary science issues.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston had a street (and subway) facing entrance that was closed for many years; since reopening, it has increased walk-in traffic as well as relationships with the local community. And that gets back to my friend’s question: Do museums really want this?

This essay, written in 1991, reflects Elaine's experience on the planning staff for the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) on the Mall as an "insider/outsider"--a "hired gun" with museum know-how facilitating the creation of someone else's museum. Add to these challenges the particular challenge of creating a national institution.

So they'll each tell you a little about that, and we'll have time for questions and answers at the end.

Just a way of being that didn't have the depth of feeling and self-reflection, that I just felt like we needed.
