This GivingTuesday, an anonymous donor is inspiring generosity in Las Vegas by offering at match of up to $5,000 for all donations made to the Las Vegas Natural History Museum's fundraising campaign.
Due to COVID-19, the Museum, like many organizations, temporarily closed in March, was unable to host Bones and Booze or the annual Dinosaur Ball, and is now experiencing restricted capacity. A survey of 760 museums, published by the American Alliance of Museums, found that, "The survey results document extreme financial distress in the museum field. One-third (33%) of respondents were not confident they would be able to survive 16 months without additional financial relief, and 16 percent felt their organization was at significant risk of permanent closure."
