WMF does not have the resources to establish partnerships with every school district in California, a chapter would. A chapter also would be able to open up museum doors and get photographers in.

 

To put it simply, the chapter would deal with outreach to the people of California.

How would a proposed California chapter actually be involved here? What would it do, how would it be structured? What could it do that WMF couldn't?

Proposing a chapter seems premature without a clear idea of its purpose. What need does it fill?

In a nutshell, a California Chapter would partner with schools for mutual benefit. This would be a major area where the Foundation can't fill in.
