National Museum of Women in the Arts raises more than $25 million

The National Museum of Women in the Arts has raised more than $25 million in the past six years, reaching its goal of doubling a $25 million endowment by the museum's 25th anniversary. The idea of raising $50 million during difficult economic times was a daunting one, but a museum director, Susan Fisher Sterling, said the timing "made a lot of sense." After all, she said, "a museum only has its 25th anniversary once."
