The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space is a free museum that details the history of grassroots community activism around spaces and gardens, especially in the East Village and Lower East Side. The museum also operates a whole host of free events in the community gardens around the neighborhood. All of our events and programming run off of donations and grants. As such, fundraising is essential to our mission and operations.
Fundraising experience is required. We are looking for someone who has any additional experience/enthusiasm for:
- grant searching and grant writing
- brainstorming fundraising ideas
- increasing our membership
Fundraising committee meetings are held periodically. Our volunteers partner with Time's Up! Environmental Organization. Almost all volunteers/interns work from the front desk of the museum, so some ability to interact with patrons is also necessary.

Mission Statement
The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) seeks to preserve history and promote scholarship of grassroots urban space activism by researching and archiving efforts to create community spaces, focusing especially on the efforts in the East Village and Lower East Side. We will also exhibit materials that document these actions, to educate people on the political implications of reclaimed space.
Description
The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) is a living archive of the Lower East Side’s squats and gardens. Located in the storefront of a historic building in the East Village of New York, the museum displays materials such as photographs, posters, zines, underground newspapers, comics, banners and buttons that show how local residents cleaned up vacant lots and buildings in the area, and made them organizing spaces for the community. The museum also offers tours on Saturdays and Sundays, which lead participants to the East Village’s most legendary community gardens, squats and sites of social change, and explain their compelling and rich histories.
