Leadership Transition The upcoming retirement of the Executive Director in 2026 creates an opportunity to offer leadership transition support, governance guidance, and fundraising strategy services to ensure continuity and position the museum for growth.

Fundraising Growth Financials show revenue in the under one million range, signaling a strong need for donor relationship management, grant administration, and sponsorship program design. A combined offering of donor CRM, campaign management, and sponsor packaging could help accelerate fundraising for exhibitions and education programs.

Digital Engagement Technology and digital experiences are a core area of opportunity, with existing infrastructure including AWS, Cloudflare and a modern web stack. There is potential to expand digital ticketing, online memberships, virtual exhibitions, accessible online content, and digital asset management to boost engagement and reach.

Exhibit Partnerships There is proven potential for exhibit partnerships and content development given past collaborations with Lao Studies, Día de los Muertos, Mujeres Inspiradoras and Gold Mountain. You can offer turnkey exhibit development, traveling exhibit support, content licensing, co-branding sponsorships, and comprehensive marketing packages to expand reach.

Local Partnerships Located in Sacramento with a growing cultural tourism footprint, the museum can attract local corporate sponsors and foundations by offering sponsorship tiers, event partnerships, and cross promotional campaigns with universities, cultural groups and local media. Propose bundled marketing access, in-person and digital event sponsorships, and community education programs to drive attendance and revenue.
