Arts Fundraising and Philanthropy

 

ArtsProfessional is working in partnership with Arts Fundraising and Philanthropy to present a series of articles sharing insights and exchanging ideas about how to encourage leadership and entrepreneurship in arts fundraising. 
 

Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy’s mission is to strengthen arts and cultural organisations’ resilience and sustainability by transforming their fundraising knowledge, skills and levels of success. We work together with a wide range of partners to deliver a programme that empowers arts and cultural professionals across England to seize the considerable opportunities that fundraising offers them to form important relationships, develop new income streams and develop new commercial opportunities.
