This year many arts groups are hoping for a small miracle with their annual fundraising efforts—and may need one if they plan to rely on the same formats to attract wary donors. With miracles in rare supply, it’s time to take stock, act smart and think creatively.
At this essential workshop, fundraising experts and representatives from arts organizations experimenting with new ways to shore up their bottom lines in a challenging year will share advice, new techniques and bold ideas to help you freshen up your fundraising efforts; initiate new, more strategically targeted special events; and utilize the talent within your organization to expand your list of potential donors, optimize your brand impact, further engage your most loyal patrons and raise needed funds.
