Business Manager, Mary Borowski here, offering my first guest-blog post. As you might expect, I have a finance-related tip.
With Mother’s Day, graduation, and Father’s Day gift giving on the horizon, I can suggest a great way to shop and help the Woodson Art Museum, too.
Online shopping has become a way of life today. In 2012, an estimated 42% of Americans will shop online.
Here’s how you can make a difference for the Woodson Art Museum, while shopping online for gifts, travel, art supplies, clothing, and more.
Visit the Shop for Museums website first when shopping online. Using it as a portal to participating vendors’ websites ensures the Museum receives a percentage of each purchase.
Follow these easy steps:
1. Go to www.ShopforMuseums.com, and shop as a registered or guest user.
2. Select Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum from the Museum Partner list, found via the tab or search box.
3. Select a vendor or category to begin shopping. The rest is automatic! After you make a purchase, depending on the retailer, the Museum receives between .5 and 8 percent of each purchase.
For a quick overview of ShopforMuseums.com, watch this video:

Using the Shop for Museums website is an easy way to benefit the Woodson Art Museum.
Please spread the word and the website link to friends and family and happy shopping online!
