The Cleveland Foundation's Arts Advancement Program was designed to enhance the management skills, improve operating efficiency, and improve financial positions of participants. The three-year initiative addressed the chronic under-capitalization of Cleveland-area mid-sized arts organizations while developing a network of highly skilled leaders, including staff and board members.
The Arts Advancement Program provided a curriculum of executive education, collaborative learning sessions, and individual mentoring, coaching, and expert assistance. In addition, each participating organization received a three-year operating support grant and a one-time advancement grant to improve the organization's long-term stability.
The complex issues involved in leading a cultural nonprofit today can challenge even the most skilled management team. Using our first-hand experience in the arts and working with faculty from leading business and graduate schools, we deliver executive-level programs that help you find new opportunities, manage your resources and lead your organization toward its mission.
