ARMGT 310B - Fundraising II

(Pre-requisite ArtBus/Artmgt 310A) Fundraising has become a key responsibility of qualified leaders in the arts. In this pragmatic and critical course students will study cutting edge trends in development, form a leadership vision for arts fundraising, and practice core development competencies that prepare them to raise funds for visual and performing arts organizations across genre, scale, and setting. Course readings, case studies, critical discussions, written assignments, and guest speakers will deepen students’ understanding of key ideas, historical foundations, and catalytic changes shaping philanthropy today. Building from the comprehensive fundraising plans developed in 310A, students will gain hands-on experience in cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship — from prospect research to proposal development, reporting to evaluation, and analogue to online relationship building. Students will deepen their understanding of how fundraising can enhance the impact of the arts on our lives and communities.
