I remember trying to sell calendars as a public school fundraiser when I was about 8. When you embrace this donor-based model of thinking about the needs and desires of your donors, fundraising gets easier.

But there’s another kind of threshold fear I care about: the one that keeps museums from fully embracing and jumping into new ways of engaging the public, new ways of including visitors.
