Providing professional fundraising support to arts organization
ArtSupport NL has been active since March 2018. This program provides arts organizations with access to training, coaching and mentoring which allows them to improve their fundraising practices and diversify their revenue.
The first iteration of this program, ArtSupport NL Phase 1, was offered to 10 organizations from March 2018 until March 2020. As a result of this work, these organizations increased their collective fundraising revenue by 55%.
The next chapter of this program, ArtSupport NL Phase 2, has been expanded to two streams of participants.
Stream 1
This is the continuation of the pre-existing ArtSupport NL program, which has seen a cohort of 10 arts organizations attend a bootcamp, write Fund Development Plans, Cases for Support, and work with dedicated coaches on a weekly or bi-weekly basis since March 2018.
Participants in this stream work with the team at RBR Development Associates.

Stream 2
This is a new stream of this program, designed for organizations who want to improve their fundraising practices but don’t have the organizational capacity for intensive bi-weekly coaching. This program helps participants make focused strategic changes to various areas of their organizations’ fundraising work in order to amplify and streamline the fundraising work already being done.
Participants in this stream are working with the team at The Good Partnership.
