The Miami Art Museum (MAM) is working on the budgets for the 2008 fiscal year, which runs from January 1 through December 31. During the first half of FY08 MAM expects its revenues and expenses to be relatively the same as the 2007 fiscal year; however, during the second half of the 2008 fiscal year MAM plans to open a new gallery focusing on contemporary art. Currently, MAM pays its Executive Director $80,000; its Curatorial and Educational staff a total of $230,000; and its administrative and resource development staff $90,000 each year. The Museum makes fixed rent payments of $12,000 every month, and utilities and other fixed expenses equal $4000 a month. When the new gallery opens on July 1, 2008 MAM will have to hire a new Curator, at an annual salary of $50,000. In addition, the new gallery is expected to increase monthly rent payments by $2500 and monthly utilities and other fixed expenses by $500.
MAM expects to receive a number of grants from foundations in FY08. Three foundations have promised grants of $60,000 each in the first half of 2008, and two more foundations have promised grants of $125,000 each when the new gallery opens. Finally, MAM receives numerous individual donations from mail and telephone solicitations; on average these individual supporters provide MAM with $30,000 in unrestricted revenue every quarter.
MAM provides educational materials to its visitors at a cost of $1.20 per visitor. Although MAM is a free museum, it encourages its visitors to make a donation as they leave the museum. On average, each visitor donates $2. During the first six months of the new fiscal year MAM expects the average monthly attendance to be 10,000. When the new gallery opens, the Museum forecasts that its average monthly attendance will increase to 13,000.
