Strategic Leadership Recent leadership change to Betsy Parker as Executive Director signals potential shifts in fundraising strategy and partnerships. Engage to align ALNC with donor networks, grant programs, and sponsorship opportunities that leverage new leadership priorities.

Funding Momentum Historical donor support and a notable $70K grant/revenue contributions point to a receptive funding climate. Position services and programs as alignment with grant goals in climate science education, nature conservation, and STEM outreach.

Education Partnerships strong emphasis on hands-on learning, climate science education, and kid-focused programs creates openings for school districts, after-school programs, and youth-focused STEM initiatives to sponsor, co-host, or subscribe to exhibits and field trips.

Facility & Experience Facilities in Monona and Black Earth plus ongoing exhibit updates suggest opportunities for facility partnerships, sponsorships of exhibits (Monarchs, Prairies, wetlands), and paid programs that can expand capacity and recurring revenue.

Digital & Outreach Active digital presence and analytics stack indicate value in digital engagement packages, measurement dashboards, and content collaborations with ALNC to increase reach, donor engagement, and event registrations.
