The Arts Fundraising Boot Camp program is designed to help artists and arts organization staff find funding to support specific projects. Participants obtain the skills and materials needed to find and submit grants and create a personalized fundraising plan. They learn from peers in the cohort, work directly with a partner on assignments, and are matched with a local mentor from their arts discipline.
A version of this boot camp can be adapted and arranged for community organizations and not-for-profit organizations.
