Our Services

Strategic Planning
  • Achieving institutional success requires a deep understanding of
    your institution and its surroundings. It requires knowing your
    strengths and weakness. And it means taking a clear-eyed view on
    what you want to do and the resources you’ll need to achieve
    success.

  •  Creating a new institution or re-imagining an old one requires broad
    vision and deep analysis. A solid master plan lays the foundation
    for any type of capital project. It is hard to underestimate how
    important having a well thought out and well-defined master plan is
    for everything from fundraising to exhibit design.

    lighting – getting things right is challenging. Ridge Historical
    Consulting can help you integrate these all and provide a plan for
    making your exhibit meaningful and memorable.

    needs to annual funds, FUNDRAISING is at the heart of every
    project large or small. Ridge Historical Consulting can help you
    assess your fundraising needs and develop strategies for reaching
    your goals.

  • Need someone to represent your institution during a museum build-
    out? The process of creating an exhibit takes both time and
    attention to detail. And not every institution has the resources to
    dedicate a team member to managing a project. Ridge Historical
    Consulting can become your representative as you coordinate
    planning, construction, and fabrication.
