Army Museum Halifax Citadel—Donor Recognition

For small museums like the Army Museum Halifax Citadel, support from donors is the lifeblood that keeps short- and long-term goals met. While the Army Museum has maintained a high public profile—attracting much media attention since the launch of the first of many phases of exhibition refurbishment—it regularly requires help to meet goals. For smaller museums, it is less about annual fundraising campaigns for large development funds, and more about making connections with corporations and individuals to help support special initiatives. Donors, for their contributions and support, are proud to see the impact of their funding in a visible way. With help from others comes gratitude, and finding ways to recognize donors for their contribution is an important aspect of museum life. For the Army Museum, we created a series of donor recognition certificates to be given as gifts for those who have helped the museum mount a successful series of permanent exhibitions.
