Membership Strategy

Project details

What we need
  • A Membership Strategy document of 2-4 pages, including analysis of the Organization’s current membership program, step-by-step guide to a new or improved program, growth goals and creative outreach strategies
What we have in place
  • We currently have monthly and yearly membership reports, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a data base that I can generate many other reports from, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,848 , allowing us to connect to our guests, igniting a passion for science, nature and human culture through exploration and discovery.

The success of our organization depends on strong community engagement. Without your help, we cannot broaden our reach. Your skills will empower us to connect to new members and donors.
