National Capitalization Project Progress Report

Tuesday, October 14, 9:50am – 10:50am

Room with a View

Organized by Grantmakers in the Arts.

Presented by Holly Sidford, President, Helicon Collaborative.

The National Capitalization Project (NCP) has been a major topic area for GIA for the past four years. Holly Sidford, president of Helicon Collaborative, presents the results of the National Capitalization Project Progress Report, a snapshot of what funders have learned and how they are implementing change to benefit the financial health of the arts sector. NCP has included recommendations on how funders might change their behaviors to better capitalize the nonprofit sector through Conversations on Capitalization and Community, a workshop for funders, held in 14 cities for over 300 grantmakers; sessions at conferences; Reader articles; and web conferences. Learn what your colleagues are doing to better understand the funders’ role in capitalization and why “it is not a project; it is a way of life.”
