very interesting to consider the potential effects of the funding and how the funding was acquired.....

do they actually utilize these tools to engage new audiences and constructively provide information?

And while I don't think that every institution needs to use digital means to provide info nor is it necessarily the best way for them to use resources. in some cases yes but some no, but it's a good question to consider.

Also, it could be that this crypto funding will enable an institution to consider completely new paradigms regardless of whether they've previously used any digital technology with any particular agility.
