The work of fundraising has transformed into a sophisticated and competitive profession, attracting talented and dedicated leaders who wish to use their skills to contribute to a secure financial future for their organizations. The arts and cultural field has not been an exception to these pressures above all in times when new emergencies and pressures shrink the funding opportunities of arts organizations both in Europe and in the US. This book aims to be a reference point for upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and junior practitioners in the arts management field. It will provide core insights about and inspiration for careers in fundraising for the arts and high-quality content (including on advanced topics such as the organizational dynamics of creating a culture of philanthropy, E-D-I in fundraising, the use of digital and social media platforms, board involvement, performance management and accountability) that will appeal to novice or experienced practitioners.
