Join the Arts Administrators of Color Network for an interactive workshop to explore liberatory and alternative models of philanthropy that go beyond traditional institutional funding. This session will dive into forms of collective giving, such as giving circles, which are increasingly becoming a tool for everyday donors to pool resources and directly impact their communities.
We’ll review key data, including insights from the Giving USA dataset, which highlights the power of individual donors over institutional funders. Learn about non-traditional models like crowdfunding and peer-to-peer fundraising, and discover strategies for engaging individual donors. The session will also cover emerging trends and reports on alternative revenue streams in philanthropy.
This event is designed for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and/or global majority-identifying artists and arts leaders. This session will be recorded.
