What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Important works of art at the Uffizi Museum in Florence, Italy are in continuing need of restoration. In addition, the museum itself needs funds to upgrade their gallery and displays. The Uffizi cannot raise the necessary funds just through ticket sales. It is imperative that organizations like the Friends of the Uffizi help to restore and preserve these important treasures for future generations.

Charting impact

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

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

The Friends of the Uffizi Gallery in the United States and the Amici degli Uffizi in Italy work together to safeguard the treasures of the Uffizi Gallery. Working closely with the museum’s curatorial staff, both groups play a vital role in preserving and restoring one of the world's most important museums and the cultural heritage of Western civilization.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Continue to increase membership and fundraising strategies. Our biggest fund raiser is our Florentine Weekend.
Where We’re Headed:
New Direction
Although we will continue works in process, and offer individual restorations, we shift our focus to two new fundraising requests from the Uffizi…and therefore this group was pulled together, to brainstorm strategies around these fundraising goals.

Key Projects
Restoration: Boboli Gardens
Restoration: Pitti Palace
New Fundraising Goals & Target Dates

How We Reach These Goals: (Brainstorming Session)
Potential Short term Strategies
i. Develop and Diversify High Level Donors
ii. Matching Gift
iii. Corporate Support
iv. Other Strategies
b. Potential Long Term Strategies
i. Major Gifts
ii. Endowments
iii. Other Strategies

Next Steps:
a. Results are summarized and presented to MV/Full Board, with a budget/plan
b. Once MV/Full Board approves; the plan/budget will then be presented to the
Advisory Board who will be tasked with implementation.
c. May reconvene this group for further input and tweaking of these strategies.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

We continue to add valuable members to our Board of Directors and Advisory Board. We work with strategic donors to fund specific projects identified by the Uffizi. We have grown as an organization over the last 17 years and feel confident that we can reach our goals.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Our biggest fundraising program for the year is our Florentine Cultural Weekend. We have completely sold out the entire weekend and have a few spots left for members that would like to come to the ala carte program. We have also had major donations and pledges from important donors that will fund our ongoing projects.

How we listen

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
