We help mission-driven arts, arts education, and arts service organizations grow their impact through fundraising and capacity building, marketing, and program design and evaluation.
Our Services
Fund Raising & Capacity Building
With more than 35 years of experience in all facets of fundraising including leading annual fund, major donor and capital campaigns; grant writing; and special events production, we have raised tens of millions of dollars for arts and education providers at the local and national levels.
Marketing & Building Enrollment
The Covid-19 pandemic severely impacted both enrollment in community arts education organizations and memberships in arts service associations nationwide; as of Summer 2025; many still have not fully recovered.
Program Design & Evaluation
Multi-year, tripartite initiatives blending the identification, documentation and publication of best practices; training and technical assistance; and often financial support in the form of grants or financial aid.
