Generous

Today I looked up synonyms for generous. It's useful to do so in my job, not so much as I've forgotten its meaning or context, but more so because I was looking at a myriad of ways to thank someone for being so generous to the museum. This person has not only given their own money over the years, but has prompted his friends to give of their money and of their time.

The philanthropy is high here and the success of the devo department depends on it. This is so markedly different from both RCH and NAATA that it is staggering.

On that same subject (sort of) today, Emily Sano, the Asian Art Museum Executive Director went down to City Hall to discuss our proposed budget. The museum staff is on edge, expectant on how this may impact the staff (layoffs?). She'll be answering questions about the necessity of the proposed budget. Nonprofits always exist with this cloud of funding loss hanging over it.
