Capitalization Workshops in Your City
Last month, GIA held five successful Conversations on Capitalization and Community workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area. Specialized workshops were held separately for funders and nonprofit grantees, focusing on what each group can do to support the financial health of nonprofit arts and culture organizations. Over 45 funding organizations and 170 nonprofit grantees were in attendance. The next capitalization workshops will be held in Denver, CO, on August 24-25.
