Cultural Fundraising

Zwei Hände schreiben mit einem Stift auf Papier

There are basically four different sources of funding for cultural institutions and projects: Public grants, private and foundation funds, services from companies, e.g. sponsoring, strategic cooperations and self-generated funds. The challenge is to develop a sustainable financing strategy based on this broad spectrum of resources and to realise it with the help of targeted concepts and instruments.

The participants of the training will work on the systematic development of such a strategy using examples from practice. In addition to strategic and legal basics, fundraising instruments that can be used in practice will be taught. The concept for the programme was developed in close cooperation between the experienced fundraiser, curator and lecturer Barbara Mei Chun Müller (Career Culture Berlin) and Uwe Hanf, lecturer in the cultural work degree programme at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.

The further edcation programme is aimed at employees of cultural institutions and projects, employees of public cultural administrations, cultural foundations and companies, libraries, archives and related institutions who are responsible for the procurement of financial and other resources, as well as freelance fundraisers and project managers, artists and cultural workers, career changers and interested parties from the field of cultural and creative industries. The prerequisite for this further training is a completed degree or vocational training and relevant professional experience.

Organisation

The methods of the training include theoretical inputs, work on case studies and topics of the participants, plenary discussions, small group work, exercises, presentations, excursion and expert discussion. In the course of the training, the participants develop their own project, which is presented and evaluated in the final colloquium. Individual coaching is part of the training.
