Donation boxes
From Our Toolkit
Donation boxes are a great way to create a passive income stream. How you use them, where you position them and how you encourage visitors to donate all require careful thought to ensure you get the best return.
The Association of Independent Museums has produced a Quick Guide to Donation Boxes in Museums which provides practical advice on how introduce boxes into your site.
