Together, We Serve
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our 2023 goals were to begin a capital campaign, and to host more in-person programs in our facility and in other venues. With the unexpected death of the building's owner, and the property's transfer, we had to vacate the premises. Our 2024 goal has been to regroup and to find a suitable and permanent facility.
Our programs

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

MAMF collaborates with national, state, and local individuals and organizations on diverse projects. MAMF is has rebuilt its board and has created action teams. It hired a part-time museum manager . MAMF continues to produce quality work, improve its processes, and seeks its permanent location.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
As a small non-profit with an impressive track record, and an affinity for collaborating, MAMF feels confident that it is on the right track. MAMF's board of directors is energized and engaged.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
MAMF received several arts and humanities grants for past and future projects. MAMF published five anthologies in 2021-2023 which provide a small but steady income for the museum. The Board has broken into small teams and is working on several priorities for MAMF: location, development, marketing.
