Musing #3: BE THE DONOR, A PHILANTHROPIC VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUE! Use this audit to determine the appropriate balance of your communications, and definitely adjust the contents if you find you “ask” more than “thank” or “inform.”. Slowly, yet without huge momentum, the nonprofit industry is switching to a more donor-centered approach.

Staff members led us in reframing our language to talk about the museum as transforming from a “traditional model to a 21 st century model” instead of failing and then succeeding. While I still think of it that way, at the MAH, we’re seeing some of the surprising effects of lots of participatory techniques all under one roof.
