What Will Happen If the Effort To Raise The Endowment Fails?
Many of the collections maintained in developing countries are already in a precarious state. All of them struggle for funding. When funding is year to year there is no certainty that operations can be maintained, much less improved or expanded. Without regular, stable funding, many of these materials in the collections will lose viability over the next 5-10 years and the material they hold will be lost forever.
