Unprecedented financial and emotional losses during the global pandemic have changed the funding landscape. This book is timely as it outlines the reliance on fundraising which has occurred as government pandemic subsidies dry up. The short, focused case studies in this book illustrate how to make best use of fundraising strategies to ensure your arts organisation survives and thrives. The book is much needed in the disrupted creative industries where pragmatic fundraising approaches and alternate fundraising perspectives are essential for survival.
