I am writing to you today, as the Board Chair of SAMFA, with deep gratitude for your ongoing commitment to the Museum. Your generous support is the lifeblood of this institution, and on behalf of the entire board, I want to thank you for being a critical partner in our success.
As you consider your giving options this year, I would like to share a personal story. My family visited the exhibit, Where Children Sleep earlier this year. It included intimate portraits of children in their bedrooms around the world, in quite disparate socioeconomic conditions. The exhibit impacted my childred by allowing them to connect emotionally with children from diverse cultures and circumstances, while recognizing their own good fortune.
It was heartwarming to hear their questions and concerns, while seeing empathy and understanding in their eyes and hearts. Through these photographs they developed a sense of shared humanity and concern for other children's well-being. This is the power of great art. Your generosity allows us to bring powerful exhibits like this to our community.
As we look ahead, we see a bright future. The Board is thrilled Seth Hopkins will be joining SAMFA as President/CEO. Seth brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in museum leadership, strategic growth, and community engagement. He joins the board in asking you to consider a gift to SAMFA’s annual campaign.

Your support of our Annual Fund is essential. Our museum is not city-funded and while we do receive grants for programming, SAMFA relies primarily on individual giving. I have personally given to this campaign, because I believe so deeply in our mission. I am asking you to join me and make a gift today, online, by clicking here or by printing out and mailing in a check with this form. Thank you once again for your unwavering belief in SAMFA. With your help, we can continue to be a vital center for culture, education, and inspiration in our community.
With deepest gratitude,
