How can you let your legislators and funders know just how much your museum impacts your community? Give 'em an Economic Impact Statement.
Start with a just few key pieces of data to personalize your statement. Then get creative - put the data on your museum's letterhead, add photos of visitors enjoying the museum, or add additional data that helps make the case about the value of your museum in your community.
Download a basic form and create your own. Or look at Economic Impact Statements done by others. These one-pagers are easy to create and can be used in a variety of ways to show how YOUR organization contributes to your community's economy.
