Monograph: United Arts Funds: Meeting the Challenge of Increased Private Sector Support for the Arts

Author: Bush, Robert

Publication Year: 2003

Media Type: Report

Summary:

In communities of all sizes, United Arts Ffunds (UAF) are working to broaden the base of support for the arts, promote excellence in the arts and arts management, and to ensure that arts organizations are financially stable.

Abstract:

United arts funds are nonprofit organizations that manage an annual combined or federated appeal designed to raise money on behalf of three or more arts institutions in a community. This monograph clearly defines the characteristics and benefits of UAF and provides analysis of the success rates of recent UAF campaigns. A great introduction to the workings of UAF, and a valuable resource to communities struggling to increase private sector support for the arts.

They often still serve as excellent resources for best practices and historic reference for today’s issues. Monographs were produced from 1993–2010. Monographs from 2001-2010 are available for downloadable in PDF format our online store at a nominal fee for nonmembers but free to members.
