Or produce an art exhibit with elementary school students. The site doesn't link them with foundations or grant applications; instead, it makes it easy to reach out to regular people for donations of as little as $1. game and the Neversink Valley Museum's capital campaign launch materials. The museum's page is much simpler.

There are lots of great science museum resources, but not where these kids can walk after school. So we tend to have three legs of support: municipal, grants/donations, and fee for service (usually with the school district). Several Community Science Workshops also get Measure S grants - gang prevention grants - through their cities.

Instead of grant deliverables or profit, passion and impact are the bottom line motivators for change. Collaboration in the community-driven model doesn’t just mean you invite the public to meetings about what you’re doing, it means they are invited in, invested in, and share responsibility for the work you’re doing together.

Last week, I finally watched The Art of the Steal , an arresting documentary on the controversy around the evolution of the Barnes Foundation from a suburban educational art facility to a major urban art museum (to open in May 2012). Unlike most art collections, Barnes' art was neither exclusively private nor a public museum.
