smART talk 03 | Philanthropy: Getting Enough?

One of the objectives of this forum is to build knowledge of how fundraising works, in order to understand how fundraising will help you. 

I’m hoping that some of the effective tools and techniques that work for the arts community here and internationally will be discussed.  And that we’ll share some of the best ideas and practices across the not-for-profit or voluntary sectors. What does good fundraising look like? How do we learn from the disasters?

I’m going to start this part of the forum, where we are going to try and identify and evaluate fundraising resources, by asking: what is the role and the potential of volunteers in your organizations?  Lets see if we can add some colour and life to those top-line statistics.

Bring on the first line of our supporters in the arts – the volunteers!

The evidence is growing and it’s good. When last studied comparatively, the not-for-profit sector received 20% of its revenue from philanthropic sources (from households, business and other NFP institutions).

But do they just give to any cause?
