National Museum of the United States Navy Campaign Consultant Services

Background
The National Museum of the United States Navy is seeking consultant services to support the modernization, relocation, and construction of a new museum campus. The current museum location on the historic Washington Navy Yard does not meet Navy Museum and Historic Resource Facility standards and has experienced a decline in annual visitors. The Secretary of the Navy has funded the Naval History and Heritage Command Campus Program Office (CPO) to lead a nationwide capital campaign to fund the construction of a $450M state-of-the-art museum campus. The contractor will support previously-contracted assessment, engagement planning, campaign feasibility, and methodology studies.

Work Details
The contractor must have experience in successful multi-million dollar national campaigns to plan and fund new museums or similar projects, knowledge of the national philanthropic community, ability to create and manage a comprehensive engagement plan for key stakeholders, identifying museum business operations, campaign, and planning challenges, conducting studies on the feasibility of a national capital campaign including public and private funding sources, and providing recommendations to support NHHC.
