The Arts Council received a capacity building grant from the Kresge Foundation to provide assistance to local nonprofit arts organizations to participate in this extraordinary sustainable funding model. Organizations that are interested in learning more about the Benevon Model and how to participate in the upcoming summer workshop are invited to attend this free introductory session.
Benevon trains and coaches nonprofit organizations to implement a mission-based system for raising sustainable funding from individual donors. This system ends the suffering over fundraising and builds passionate and committed lifelong donors. The session will feature Ms. Axelrod presenting her funding model as well as members of the Arts Council staff presenting the opportunity for local arts groups to participate in the special two-day training scheduled for July 28 - 29. Applications will be available at this session for those organizations wishing to participate in the summer session.
The Arts Council participated in the Benevon two-day training in October and as a result of that experience felt strongly about making this innovative training more affordable and available to local arts organizations and constituents.
They encourage all arts organizations who are interested in learning more about this exciting model to attend the introductory session and meet Terry Axelrod. This is a unique opportunity to meet the CEO and learn about the Benevon Model. We want to help Kansas City arts organizations to prepare for the future by considering more diverse forms of fundraising. To learn more about this model go to www.benevon.com.
