The Florida Association of Museums Foundation (FAMF) is dedicated to facilitating best practices in Florida cultural organizations so that visitors, our communities, and the state enjoy rich, diverse, and educational experiences. In addition, best practices ensures all museum disciplines, zoos, botanical gardens, aquariums, historical societies, etc., provide the highest level of care for our state's vast and treasured collections. We receive requests for assistance from cultural organizations seeking to elevate their programs and services, especially from smaller museums, community organizations, and rural areas. Cultural organizations have been severely impacted by the pandemic and have suffered devastating losses to revenue. The FAMF seeks to continue professional development opportunities at little to no cost so that any size organization can continue to build capacity and educate the public.
