Future Focus Program │Calgary Arts Development

November 15, 2024

Value

Exploration Phase — up to $15,000; Implementation Phase — up to $25,000

Description

The Future Focus Program provides funding to arts organizations to explore a key question or challenge facing their organization and develop directions for their operations that diverge from previous or current practice in response. Organizations may be asking themselves questions about their organizational purpose, their role in the arts sector, their continued viability, or how they need to adapt their structure or approach to operate into the future. The program supports organizations through the process of investigating, identifying, planning and executing significant and strategic adaptations in their operations.

Eligible Applicants

  • Arts organizations operating in the Treaty 7 region (including Red Deer), that are registered charities or not-for-profits, or arts-based organizations that have comparable organizational structures.
  • Organizations cannot be receiving project support from any of the three partner funders individually for the same work.

Eligible Expenses

This work may include projects such as:

  • Making shifts to business models and organizational structures.
    • Investigating and implementing new revenue generating models that do not rely on fundraising activities.
    • Changing the way your organization is registered/incorporated.
  • Forming strategic partnerships with other organizations, including resource sharing.
  • Developing strategies for new directions.
    • Major shift in organizational mission or activity to support mission.
    • Venue and space investigations.
    • Assessment of organizational capacity and ‘right sizing’.
  • Planning for leadership succession from founding and longstanding leaders.
  • Addressing organizational life cycle questions, including potential mergers and closures.
