Security at your Museum
Hi all,
We’re currently exploring our options for hiring a security team and I’d love to hear how other children’s museums approach this.
- Do you have an internal security team on staff?
- Do you work with an external security company? If so, are the officers armed or unarmed?
Any insights, recommendations, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Wealth Screening Tool
Hello-
I am working on creating more of a donor base and donor process as we currently don't have much of one.
Has anyone used any of the wealth screening tools out there to find potential local donors?
Also-what are your donor level recognition tiers?
Thank you,
Danielle Larsen-Northwoods Children's Museum
