For most arts organizations, the success of a facilities project will hinge on your ability to amass the required capital. For non-profit arts organizations, this is done through a combination of fundraising – depending on the scale of the renovation, via a capital campaign or a specially targeted annual campaign –and through other types of funding and financing.
