Education Partnerships The library centers on education for students, teachers, scholars, and the public, with an appointment based research library and museum programs. This offers partnerships with K-12 schools, colleges, and nonprofit groups for field trips, teacher professional development, and grant funded programs tied to Wilsons life and civic themes.

Fundraising Opportunities With modest revenue and reliance on private donors, grants, and flexible admission options like Pay What You Wish, there is strong potential for corporate sponsorships, major donor campaigns, and targeted grants to fund exhibits such as the WWI trench experience and the 1919 Pierce-Arrow limousine, as well as education programs.

Tourism Partnerships As a National Historic Landmark offering guided birthplace tours, multiple galleries, and interactive exhibits plus events like Civics in the Shade, there are opportunities to partner with local hotels, tour operators, and the Staunton tourism ecosystem to create bundled visitor experiences, group tours, and cross-promotions.

Digital Engagement Existing digital tools and web presence can be expanded with virtual tours, online exhibitions, licensed educational content, and digital memberships to reach classrooms, researchers, and donors beyond Staunton.

Leadership Transition With the CEO departure planned for mid-2026 after a long tenure, there is an opportunity to offer leadership transition services, including fundraising campaign support, governance consulting, and executive search partnerships to ensure ongoing growth and stability.
