JONESBORO – A generous donor who requested to remain anonymous is making a $25,000 gift commitment to a special endowment in support of Arkansas State University Museum.
The donor specifically directed that the proceeds from the endowment will be designated for the care, management and conservation of the museum collections, and encourages others who are interested in supporting the museum and its mission to add to the endowment fund.
“This gift is as insightful as it is generous. Collections care is crucial to a museum’s existence, yet it is carried out behind the scenes without fanfare and is unnoticed by the public,” noted Dr. Marti Allen, director of the museum. “That the donor chose to remain anonymous is beautifully consistent with the recognition that collections care, a core function of museums, quietly enables every other function.”
