SurveyMonkey Powered Online Survey

Thank you for helping with this important effort!

We are doing this to help funders, Boards, and our whole community to understand "where we are" financially as black museums. Underfunded? Paid appropriately for the size of our museums? The data will help us understand the finances of our field and advocate for more funding.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING?

1) There are 3 parts: ‘Part A’ asks INSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS, such as your annual operating budget, and so on. 'Part B' asks about STAFFING needs and priorities. ‘Part C’ asks questions about SALARIES & BENEFITS.

2) You don't have to complete it all at once -- you CAN stop/exit and continue later using the same link (answers are stored by your IP address). But USE THE SAME COMPUTER or you may have to start over.

3) If you are a state or government institution, you may need permission from your board or Department before giving some 'privileged' information (salaries and benefits of staff including the director). Get permission before starting the survey.

Thank you for working on this. Your help is much appreciated.
