<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The <EM>Qualicum Beach Museum</EM> is a small community museum that has
received municipal support for the past 5 years or so in the form of 1% of our
municipal taxes. This translates to just over $30,000.00/year. We
rely on fundraising and other avenues (gift shop, membership, grants) to cover
the rest of our operational costs. The population is approximately
9000.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope this helps.</DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
<DIV>Netanja </DIV>

wondering how much if any, municipal support Museums in small communities
receive as a yearly grant, or is the Museum funded by the municipality? Our
community is approximately 2500 and we would like to compare notes on this with
similarly sized Villages.</DIV>
