Strategic Partnerships Shaker Museum's history of securing capital project grants and engaging high profile board members presents ripe opportunities to package sponsorships, co branded programming, and targeted grant writing services for foundations, corporations, and philanthropic entities around exhibitions and site expansions.

Tourism Collaborations With multiple campuses, year round by appointment access, and planned exhibitions such as Palm to Poplar, there is potential to partner with regional hotels, tourism boards, and tour operators to create Shaker focused itineraries, experiential tours, and cross promotional events.

Education Programs The museum’s strong archive resources and leadership in Shaker history enable development of school partnerships, teacher workshops, and family learning programs, plus opportunities to license educational content and create museum to classroom experiences.

Digital Commerce Leverage existing tech stack to grow online engagement and revenue through virtual tours, online memberships and donations, e commerce for Shaker inspired design goods, and content licensing for curricula and traveling exhibitions.

Grants Advisory Given a track record of NYS Council on the Arts grants and other funder support, position Shaker Museum as a donor engagement and capital campaign consultant for smaller institutions while showcasing successful grant strategies to attract funders and partners.
