5-Minute Interview With Matthew Bregman of El Museo del Barrio

The museum houses a perm-anent collection, presents exhib-itions, conducts bilingual educ-ation programs both on site and in local schools, and hosts a variety of community events and festivals tied to Latin American holidays.

Director of Development Matthew Bregman has been with the institution for a little more than a year. Here, he discusses the museum’s fundraising structure, recent successes, and the challenges and opportunities presented by the impending loss of one of its major corporate sponsors, Altria Corp., which accounted for close to 10 percent of the museum’s contributed funding.
