Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We:

*Honor Military Families *Preserve their Legacies *Share their Stories *Educate the Public

Having undergone the Collections Assessment in 2018 and receiving a NEH grant for collections preservation, we continue to raise funding and support to acquire a more suitable building so we can better preserve our collections, strengthen our community, and serve as a resource to those who wish to learn more about military family history. Working with several college interns, MAMF plans to begin to digitize its collections of photographs and documents. We are the symbolic home for those nostalgic for military family life, and for those who wish to learn more.

MAMF will to continue to develop programs, create imaginative exhibits and publish anthologies which invite further community involvement and thoughtful dialog. In 2023 MAMF will produce Still SHOUTing! and create a virtual exhibit, "Host Nation Hospitality," and its Writer-in-Resident will produce a book of poetry.
Also in 2023 MAMF will reorganize and develop long-term plans.

MAMF collaborates with national, state, and local individuals and organizations on diverse projects. MAMF is rebuilding the board and creating action teams. It plans to add a part-time paid staff member in 2023. MAMF continues to produce quality work, improve its processes, and find a permanent location.

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 cannot do this without the continued support of the many people who have faith in the museum and mission, and without greater national visibility. MAMF engaged a consultant in 2020 for an outside perspective of our organization. That report has been helpful as it moves forward, setting short-term and long-term goals.

Thanks to the CARES/ARP programs, MAMF weathered the worst of the pandemic. MAMF received several arts and humanities grants for past and future projects. MAMF published four anthologies in 2021-2022 which are selling quite well at online retailers and provide a small but steady income for the museum.
