Abstract:

As validated in this article, foundations can play a significant and unique role in facilitating connections between the for-profit and not-for-profit arts. However, much work needs to be done. The author offers suggestions to foundations for contributing to the development of these relationships:

• Broaden the national leadership discussion on this issue.
• Facilitate issue-related meetings and informational gatherings in both sectors.
• Consider whether to create new financing mechanisms to test some of these new ideas.
• Play a communications and learning role that captures information on the grantmaking and evaluation activities related to arts and entertainment issues.
• Play a significant role by identifying and supporting leaders who are thinking about cross-sector collaborations or who are actively developing new ideas in the field.
