Balboa Park's Automotive Museum flexes fundraising muscle ahead of big expansion plan


Print
Six months from now, the San Diego Automotive Museum will go to the region’s most generous benefactors with a large ask: Give us millions to nearly double the footprint of our second-class facility. It’s a substantial ask for a nonprofit with a not-so-great reputation in philanthropic circles.
That’s why the classic fixer-upper is anxious to prove that it can put to good use more than $1.3 million in recently donated funds and improvements.
