Faced with depleted relief funds, rising expenses, and stagnant operating revenue, many orchestras are struggling to balance their budgets. Bold strategies like launching endowment campaigns or appealing to top philanthropists offer long-term hope, but they fall critically short of addressing the urgent financial challenges facing these organizations today. 

What does winning look like? The organizations thriving in this environment share one key trait: a commitment to learning and applying fundraising fundamentals. They consistently invest in the daily work needed to build and sustain a strong philanthropic program that produces predictable and reliable Annual Fund growth. 

RSC will provide an assessment of the cash crisis across the arts industry and the core fundraising fundamentals every organization can apply to achieve sustainable and reliable recurring revenue growth. The workshop will allow participants to apply these principles to their programs in real-time – hearing from their peers who’ve done so successfully, identifying the resources needed to take action, and overcoming the barriers that stand in the way.
