Museums & cultural institutions

The exhibition is ready. The campaign behind it usually isn't.

Annual fund, memberships, exhibition sponsorship, and capital projects are four campaigns competing for one development officer's week. In Play builds and runs all four on a single calendar.

What we hear

The product isn't the problem. The marketing is.

Membership and annual fund are solicited by the same people, in the same month.
Exhibition sponsorship decks get rebuilt from scratch every season.
Capital campaigns stall in the quiet phase with no pipeline discipline.
The board asks which channel raised the money and nobody can answer.
What In Play runs for you

Your fundraising department, without hiring one.

1
Membership programs and renewals

Tier design, join flow, member benefits communication, and lapse-recovery sequences — running continuously instead of in a spring push.

2
Exhibition and gala sponsorship

Sponsorship tiers with tracked deliverables, prospect pipeline, invoicing, and a sponsor wall on the public campaign page.

3
Annual fund and year-end

Segmented appeals by giving history, a matching-gift moment, and a managed year-end cadence across email, SMS, and print.

4
Capital and endowment support

Gift pyramid, naming opportunities, pledge schedules, and board-ready reporting through the quiet and public phases.
