Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy

Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy transforms the fundraising knowledge, skills and levels of success of arts organisations. Working with Trustees, CEOs, Senior leaders, mid-career and new and emerging talent, we empower cultural professionals to harness the considerable opportunities that fundraising offers and to develop diverse and entrepreneurial practice, building and growing a skilled fundraising workforce. We achieve this through the following strands of delivery: > Ideas and Innovation - Developing new ideas and practical solutions to support organisations to achieve their fundraising potential; > Strategy and Fundraising Leadership - Stimulating new sources of private income and cultivating commercial opportunities as part of impactful business planning; > Training and Lifelong Learning - Creating and sharing ideas for innovative practice via face to face, online and accredited training and learning. We work with a wide range of organisations in the arts, culture, and heritage sectors. We're passionate about the work we do and and how best we can support these organisations. Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy is led by Cause4 with consortium partners, the Arts Marketing Association (AMA) and the University of Leeds (UoL). Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy is an Arts Council England Investment Principles Support Organisation (IPSO) from 2023-26.
