A Rising Tide Floats All Boats - Fundraising Workshop

 

Session Title:

 A Rising Tide Floats All Boats - Fundraising Workshop

 

Presenters:

Canada’s National Ballet School: John Dalrymple (Director, Strategic Initiatives), Jenna Rose (Coordinator, Strategic Initiatives)

 

Session Description:

In this session we will review models for raising funds (both private and public) and talk about what works and what doesn’t work in the arts. We will explore new methods and new thinking on how to resource a vision for a cultural enterprise, as well as how to leverage collective passion and energy to realize concrete material gains. “New Power” in the 21st century has changed the fundraising focus from the needs of the institution to the needs of the community – how can arts organizations address a growing cost base at home by looking outside of their four walls? Can we reframe the argument for the arts to demonstrate greater relevance and drive higher fundraising performance?
