Founders/Friends Program

Visitors are charged no entrance fee to the museum, and many interpretive programs are free and open to the public. While the SFCC budget supports MOFAC’s administrative expenses, private dollars and government grants fund the museum’s programs and exhibits. The museum’s success depends on the dedication and generosity of its many sponsors and donors. Please consider joining the Friends of MOFAC!

FOUNDERS

SFCC MOFAC is offering a one-time opportunity for Friends of MOFAC to help set a solid financial foundation for the museum. Anytime between Dec. 31, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2008, you are welcome to make a tax-deductible donation of $1,000 as a Founder, at one time or in installments throughout that period.

These gifts will be matched by the state of Florida, so the impact of your generosity will be magnified. By becoming a Founder, you will receive lifetime recognition for your contribution, and you will join members of the MOFAC Advisory Committee and the many SFCC college employees who have already pledged their support to MOFAC’s future as one of Florida’s foremost cultural museums.

Founders’ Benefits

As a Founder, you will receive:

• Lifetime recognition on the donor recognition board, which provides a permanent legacy of generosity
• Recognition in all SFCC Artist Series playbills and in the annual Artist Applause newsletter
• Invitations to exhibit preview receptions
• Special programs and tours
• 10% discount on museum shop merchandise

SFCC MOFAC DOCENT PROGRAM

Do you have an admiration for the visual arts? Do you have an interest in Florida history, archaeology or art? Come join us for an enriching, educational experience as a docent for MOFAC.

What does a docent do?
The docent greets visitors and helps them to enjoy and benefit from looking at the art and exhibits. As a docent, you will provide an interesting, entertaining, and educational aspect to the viewing experience. Docents volunteer one hour, two hours, or more on a weekly basis during the regular museum hours.

Do I need to know about Florida history and art to be a docent?
No. As a MOFAC docent, you will have an opportunity to attend docent training workshops, read materials available in the museum, and learn about the exhibits. Monthly docent training workshops are planned during the lunch hour and will cover such topics as archaeology, the Highwaymen, art history topics and Florida history.

For more information, call Mollie Doctrow at (863) 784-7240 or via e-mail, doctrowm@southflorida.edu.
