New Study: Rethinking Cultural Philanthropy in Montreal

Montreal arts organizations should increasingly engage with citizens who resonate with their mission to build a donor community. This is one of the main recommendations of a study launched today by the Conseil des arts de Montréal (CAM) and HEC Montréal. Giving voice to the artistic community, the study Rethinking Cultural Philanthropy in Montreal: Relationships and Community suggests shifting sector practices towards a community-based philanthropic culture. This approach resonates particularly strongly with the current crisis, which reveals the deep attachment of audiences to arts organizations.
