Support for Small Arts and Cultural Organizations
The Arts Work Fund for Organizational Development is a funder collaborative created to help strengthen the management and operations of small arts and cultural organizations in the six-county Chicago metropolitan region. Our resources are available for arts and cultural organizations with operating expenses less than $1 million to strategically address issues that contribute to their sustainability and/or build their capacity to effectively achieve their missions.
In its role of understanding and improving the health of small arts and cultural organization in the Chicago area, the Arts Work Fund surveyed and interviewed grant recipients and grant applicants to learn how they are faring in the current economic climate. The findings underscore the even greater importance of grant funds dedicated to stabilizing the area’s small arts and culture organizations and the need to support innovation in business and operational practices.
