Strategic

Fundraising

Successful fundraising requires a clear and compelling strategic vision.

That vision takes more than just strategic planning – it requires understanding what is unique and essential about your nonprofit, and how to distill that into an actionable plan for sustainable growth, strategic innovation, partnership, or even responsible sunsetting over a multi-year period.

Over a thirty year career as a museum director, educator, and curator, Harry Philbrick has used education programs to reposition a contemporary art museum’s reputation, leading to a dynamic contemporary art museum building in an historic district; led transformational curatorial and collecting change at the oldest museum in the country; launched a partnership-based startup with programming attracting a truly diverse audience to contemporary art events; and been an interim executive director laying the groundwork for a significant institutional restructuring.
