A creative fundraiser can make any of these items sound attractive to the donor. This can include museums, archives, galleries, etc. You just need to show proof of membership.

Unsurprisingly, some of my favorite museums are small, funky places run by iconoclasts—but that’s not useful to most professionals who work for organizations in which they have little control over size or leadership matters. This may sound obvious and natural, but it’s easy to underestimate the power of institutional culture.
