Maximizing Fundraising with Minimum Capacity

Are you intimidated by the thought of trying to fundraise for your art, or frustrated with your current attempts to do so? You're not alone. Fundraising to support your art can be a daunting process. But it's no longer just an option it's a must for any group that wants to take their work to the next level. But like most artists or arts organizations, you've already got a ton to do and only a pound of resources to accomplish it with. In this session, you'll hear tips from a professional fundraiser in the arts on choosing and using the right tools and infrastructure, which revenue sources to focus your energy on, identifying and building relationships with potential donors, and key "soft" factors in your fundraising success. Real-life examples from a variety of artists and organizations will be used throughout, and breakout sessions will examine the potential donors you didn't even know you already had.
