2021 has been both a challenging and exciting year for museums and nonprofits, much of it still focused on pandemic recovery. As it draws to a close, membership and development professionals are working harder than ever to make the most of November and December – historically some of the most important months for fundraising. From launching creative Giving Tuesday initiatives to optimizing year-end appeals and promoting gift memberships and donations, there are many opportunities and possibilities to consider when thinking through your end-of-year strategy.
Join Dan Sullivan (Head of Growth and Partnerships @ Cuseum), Bekah Boyer (Development Manager, Membership @ Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art), Sarah Scates (Membership Director @ Oakland Zoo), and Maegan Hoffmann (Annual Funds Manager @ SPCA of Texas) for a webinar conversation to discuss all things year-end strategy in membership and development.

About this webinar
On-demand conversations for cultural organizations
Cuseum hosts a regular series of webinars and roundtables bringing together leaders from museums, zoos, aquariums, gardens, performing arts venues, and alumni associations. These conversations dig into the practical challenges of running modern membership and engagement programs — from rolling out digital memberships and mobile apps to navigating reopening, marketing in a noisy landscape, and using data to retain more members.
How Cuseum helps
Cuseum is an end-to-end engagement platform built specifically for museums, cultural attractions, and membership organizations. Our products span four core areas, and most customers start with one and expand over time as their digital strategy matures.
Digital membership cards
Replace plastic cards with mobile-wallet passes that members can save to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, update in real time, and use for tap-to-scan entry. Reduce printing and shipping costs while giving members a faster, more modern experience.
Mobile apps and audio guides
Branded mobile experiences for tours, exhibits, wayfinding, and self-guided storytelling. Multilingual support, accessibility features, and integrations with ticketing and ecommerce keep visitors engaged from arrival to return visit.
Member engagement and retention
Push notifications, SMS, email, and member portals work together to drive renewals, surface upcoming programs, and re-engage lapsing members. Built-in analytics show what's working so teams can iterate quickly.
CRM and ticketing integrations
Cuseum connects with Tessitura, Altru, Salesforce, Raiser's Edge, ACME, AudienceView, and dozens of other systems so member data, ticketing, and digital experiences stay in sync without manual exports.
