Mrs. Ntap, do you think things would be different if there was an endowment fund? Right now, departmental envelopes are compartmentalized. So a department in charge of social affairs will not give money to museums, for example.
I remember talking to the representatives of another very local museum, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. That museum is located right next to a major shipyard belonging to Irving Shipbuilding. I asked them whether the shipyard helped them financially to stress the importance of shipbuilding.
In your case, one would imagine a business or a department could support you. Do you think an endowment fund would be an opportunity to seek perhaps not departmental funds, but at least funding from private sponsors?
Anyone can answer my question.
