This new addition to museum’s senior leadership team will assist in building a more secure financial foundation for the institution, said Charles L. Venable, director and CEO of the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
While Gattle will officially join the IMA in November, she will immediately become involved with strategic planning for the IMA’s membership and fundraising activities. In her role, Gattle will work with the staff and board to develop and implement a comprehensive fundraising plan for the institution. The strategic plan will focus on increasing the museum’s engagement with donors, members, and the public with the ultimate goal of growing the IMA’s annual support, major and capital gifts, membership revenue, foundation and government grants, corporate partnerships, and planned gifts.
“This is a critical time for the IMA – one of innovation and creativity – as we prepare to launch exciting new programming, unprecedented exhibitions and a monumental new art addition to our campus, Roy Lichtenstein’s Five Brushstrokes sculpture currently being installed on the Dudley and Mary Louise Sutphin Mall. These initiatives present fresh opportunities for donor engagement and financial growth, and I am confident that Gattle is the right person at the right time for the IMA.”
Gattle has more than 20 years of experience in fundraising and development work. She is currently the president and founder of Gattle & Company, an Indianapolis-based fundraising consulting firm. Previously, Gattle served as the director of fundraising and institutional advancement at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.
Gattle is a graduate of University of Florida and received her master’s degree in philanthropic studies from the Lilly Family School on Philanthropy at Indiana University.
