Arts & Culture Funders Webinar - Not Just Money: Equity Issues in Cultural Philanthropy

Wednesday, November 15, 2017
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Webinar

Arts foundations and nonprofit leaders are increasingly aware of diversity and equity issues in the nonprofit cultural sector. However, despite this awareness, arts funding is getting less equitable, not more. Just 2 percent of all cultural institutions receive nearly 60 percent of all contributed revenue – up 5 percent over a decade. Funding inequities are systemic and local patterns mirror national ones.
