May Webinar: Demographic Data Collection: Understanding Who Benefits from our Funding Support
The next GIA webinar, Demographic Data Collection: Understanding Who Benefits from our Funding Support, will be held on Tuesday, May 23 at 2:00pm EDT / 11:00am PDT. With increasing urgency, the field of arts philanthropy is investigating funding inequities and seeking remedies to longstanding practices and policies that have led to them. We understand that to make meaningful progress towards closing funding gaps requires gathering specific data that tell us who our grantees are and whom they are serving. Join Beth Tuttle from DataArts; Bronwyn Mauldin from Los Angeles County Arts Commission, a public funder; and Elizabeth Love from Houston Endowment, a private funder, as they discuss their approaches to collecting demographic data on grantees and their audiences.

Coming up: Investing in Financial Fitness: Capitalizing for Long-term Health on Tuesday, June 13.
