hile it may seem as though our event schedule is a little quieter this fall, the staff
is busy finalizing details for the upcoming calendar
year, looking at exhibits and programs for 2012
(yes, 2012!) and I am in the throes of getting the
2011 budget passed by the Milwaukee County
Finance Committee in October.

A publication of the Charles Allis and Villa Terrace Art Museums
It takes a great deal of planning to keep these
museums fiscally safe and sound; memberships,
annual giving, programming, events and exhibits
don’t generate enough funds to do everything
we’d like to do. The board realized this in 2008
and started working on a plan to hire a development director to seek funding
and corporate sponsorships. By spring of 2009 Patty Redeker was promoted
to the dual role of fund development and membership.
We have been fortunate to have been awarded some significant grants in the
last year, including a recently announced two-year grant from the Wisconsin
Arts Board. Monthly, approximately seven grant proposals and three or four
letters of intent are sent to foundations with specific requests to help support
a variety of programming. In the past year we have grown our educational
fund from $9,000 to around $30,000.

Of course, we’ll ask for your support by continuing your membership with
the museums, contributing to the annual campaign – whether it be $10 or
$10,000, and considering a gift in the form of our legacy program.

In previous years a third of our budget has come from the county tax levy.
With economics and county government always changing we feel it is most
important that we are prepared by developing strong relationships with
foundations, creating an endowment (which will be in place before the end
of this year), and are mindful of our expenses.
