What an unbelievably valuable mix of great 'at-a-glance' resources, checklists, and cases, backed by solid, from-the-trenches advice! These are tough topics for anyone—law, taxes, and fundraising—but these authors give you what you need to tackle them, even if you harbor a few doubts. Keep a couple of copies—one at-hand and one to share with staff and board.

- Sarah S. Brophy, independent consultant and author of Is Your Museum Grant-Ready? and The Green Museum,

The Small Museum Toolkit, Book 2: Financial Resource Development and Management offers real examples, samples, and resources that are easy to understand and ready for implementation. More than just scaled-down practices from larger institutions, this is a book written by small museum professionals who understand the real issues facing our organizations—as such, I would call it a must read for anyone running a small museum.

- Jenny E. Benjamin, director, Museum of Vision,

With tons of helpful checklists and worksheets, lists of resources and websites for further study, and real-world case studies discussing the very situations that small museums face, Financial Resource Development and Management will become an invaluable reference book. As a grant funder, I especially appreciate Benjamin Hruska’s roadmap for obtaining grants in [Chapter 3]. …. We definitely will be recommending this chapter to first-time grant applicants to the Connecticut Humanities Council from now on!
