Reynolda House Museum of American Art kicked off the museum’s first capital campaign, which aims to raise $5 million, since it became affiliated with Wake Forest University in 2002. Allison Perkins, executive director of Reynolda; Dianne Blixt, president of the museum’s board of directors; Tom Lambeth, former president of the board, and Alan Caldwell, executive director of the Reynolds American Foundation took turns at the podium in the reception hall, announcing that Reynolds American had committed $1 million to the campaign. In addition to that, Reynolda House already has raised 83 percent of its goal — $4.150 million —leaving 17 percent, or $850,000, to be raised by 2017, the year that the estate turns 100 and the museum turns 50.
The museum’s campaign is part of Wake Forest’s $600 million Wake Will campaign, which was announced in 2013. The museum’s annual budget is about $3.4 million. The campaign will help pay for a variety of essential projects and endowments.http://www.journalnow.com/news/local/re ... mode=story
