This master's project examines the phenomenon of fundraising on the Internet and how community museums in the U.S. can effectively utilize this tool in their overall fundraising efforts. Focusing on community museums in California, it identifies the ways these museums are currently raising contributions online, through web site membership and donation pages, online corporate donor programs, and non-monetary contributions such as volunteer recruitment. Examples of successful online fundraising by nonprofit organizations are also examined. Finally, this project develops ideas that can be used by community museums to enhance the membership and fundraising content of their web sites. At the heart of this project is an assessment of 54 community museums for the fundraising content of their web sites; a series of five interviews with museum fundraising professionals; a review of current literature on Internet-based fundraising (including online membership programs); and a product in the form of a professional museum journal article. The study found that 74 percent of the sampled museums have web sites with some kind of membership and donation information, and that these online fundraising programs were found on interactive web sites that utilize hypertext link and email communications to museum staff. Several ways to join or donate were looked at, including print and mail online membership forms, online information submission forms, and secure credit card transaction forms. This latter method was found in only 9 percent of the study sample. The study also looked at online donor recognition, corporate donation programs, volunteer recruitment, and the presence of museum mission on the web site.
