The Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys have been successful in raising funds to restore streetcars from the City of Brotherly Love. Lacking their own museum, the group has worked with the Baltimore Streetcar Museum and the Rockhill Trolley Museum for shop space and operating track. Fund raising materials are targeted to individual projects, with shirts and other project- specific merchandie available. The group’s “Gulf Oil” scheme trolley operates at Baltimore.
cannot answer these questions in a convinc- ing manner, you should not be seeking dona- tions quite yet. 2. Break down large amounts into smaller ones: Not every community can support large projects. Consider breaking down the amount you need to raise into smaller amounts you could call “milestones.” Some projects can be completed in stages, and reaching a milestone can be a great way to encourage more donations. Not only that, but reaching a fundraising goal is great en-
couragement for your volunteers as well. A million-dollar project could be split up into ten campaigns to raise $100,000 each, for in- stance. A multi-phase restoration project could be broken down into paying for tear- down, repairs, and re- painting that are some months (or years) apart. 3. Think big: Look to corporations and com- munity foundations for matching grants to help make large strides. Cul- tivating these kinds of donations take time and patience as the po- tential

meetings, or tours of your facility and the project in question. For larger grants, some- times it helps to employ the services of a pro- fessional grantwriter who knows best how to navigate the application process. Organiza- tions like the NRHS and the Amherst Rail- way Society also offer preservation grant programs that are worth investigating. 4. Think small: While you don’t need to
chase down potential donors and rattle a col- lection can under their noses, consider ap- pealing to those who might contribute $25,
