Our latest newsletter provides an update on the state of arts funding, and how to make the arts relevant in light of all the cuts.

Next month I am honored to be presenting to museum directors from the Oklahoma Museums Association. I have at least one other large state museums association also interested, so there seems to be a common thread here. I absolutely *LOVE* working with the association world! Reason being, I often have to speak in generalities as most in a general audience will have a wide range of interests related to risk, but when you speak to a specific industry or profession with very niche specific risks, it just allows for much greater focus and strategies to be offered. If you represent #associationmanagement for a professional #nonprofitorganization I'd love to have a conversation with you as there are many points of potential customization, not only for the obvious need, but for potential ongoing customization and even association branding. Certainly, it's worth a conversation. I know someone who can help. #defensebydesign #associations #nonprofitmanagement #conferencespeaker

🌡 Let's talk VOLUNTEERS 👉 However big your Charity / Museum / Heritage organisation is, have you got the right insurance to deal with volunteer and employee issues that get a bit spicy?! 👍 The case in point in Brixham will no doubt highlight for all charities the need for a discussion on Employment Practices cover (and limits) at the very least. 📞 Talk to PIB Insurance Brokers for great advice and appropriate insurance cover to protect your management team. #charity #charityinsurance #museum #museuminsurance #heritageinsurance #employmentpractices #pib #protectmanagement

Discoveries like the recent identification of jazz legend Louis Armstrong in an old photograph can create waves of excitement - not just among fans, but also for the nonprofits preserving our rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of the ever-lasting impact of art and music. Yet, how do we best leverage these golden moments to further our mission? Resonating with people's emotions, stories and connections are keys. This story, for instance, could inspire a boost in sales of Armstrong's music or related merchandise, creating a ripple effect benefiting jazz-focused nonprofits. It's about looking at every revelation as an opportunity to rekindle interest and support. This journey is challenging, but rewards are immense. Together, let's continue to innovate, educate and inspire. Remember, your work doesn't just preserve history. It keeps the beat of our culture alive. #NonprofitPower #MarketingForChange #BusinessSolution #GiveHopeDaily. Share your experiences and marketing success stories below!

About Read Furiously: In 2012, Read Furiously published its first title, the graphic novel series The MOTHER Principle. Today we dedicate our time and energies to publishing titles that offer a new perspective on the world through a roster of fascinating voices. Our goal at Read Furiously is to create a new generation of readers (lovingly referred to as “Furious Readers”) who view reading as a necessity for this busy world. We believe that reading is more than performative - reading is an activity that brings people together to help us make sense of where we come from and where we are going. Every Read Furiously title is curated carefully to reflect these values. With every title we publish, Read Furiously donates 5% of our net proceeds to various literacy programs and book-related charities, and we also invite our talented creators to do the same. We also work with Little Free Libraries and book donation programs throughout NJ. We understand that reading can be a form of activism and we take this responsibility very seriously. Through our published titles and community efforts, Read Furiously recognizes that reading is a personal and social act. If we are successful in combining the two, being a Furious Reader will be another way we can change the world - one book at a time. We strive to celebrate diverse voices and encourage a sustainable reading journey. http://readfuriously.com The Douglas Coleman Show VE (Video Edition) offers video promotional packages for authors.

CTA - even if you don't watch the link, pls 👍 or 👏 this post to recognise not only David Clarke's charitable giving, but his innovative method of practice. --- 🎉 I've never posted a link to the BBC One Show before but this link could not be more worth it 👏. For all of us in the philanthropy world who have been inspired by the £100,000 project that David Clarke did through Wealth Shared, this is certainly worth a watch. It's literally just at the beginning and only 5mins long (I think one could do an analysis about his drive to democratise philanthropy for at least an hour). You see the people he chose to take part, what local communities did with the funds they received, and the impact it made (and also the emotional impact it brought to the delegated-distributors 😊) . For any individuals who suddenly have a decent amount of disposable assets, I certainly recommend giving this footage 5mins of your time... and reflecting on whether you can also make such a positive impact on other people 🤔. David Clarke, your mum would be so proud 👍 ❤️. REMEMBER TO 👏 OR 👍 THIS POST TO SAY WELL DONE TO David Clarke! 🎊 https://lnkd.in/dwvFBT-p #philanthropy #philanthropists #wealthshared #donors #charities #impact #charity #foundations #grantmaking

Philanthropy and Arts & Culture institutions have the power to bring about significant change by addressing funding inequalities. By examining the dynamics of donor relations, museum exhibitions, and the struggles faced by theaters, we can begin to shift cultural hierarchies and create a more equitable society. One example of how philanthropy can make a difference is by supporting underfunded arts programs in BIPOC communities. By providing financial resources and opportunities for artists and performers in these areas, we can help level the playing field and ensure that everyone has access to the arts.
