The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy has just released the third report in their High Impact Strategies for Philanthropy series. Fusing Arts, Culture, and Social Change asks arts grantmakers to reconsider their funding strategies to generate the greatest impact. The report outlines demographic, aesthetic, and economic reasons for foundations to rethink their grantmaking practices to stay current with changes in the cultural sector and to continue to be relevant to the evolving needs of our communities.It suggests that current arts grantmaking disregards large segments of cultrual practice, and consequently, large segments of our society.  Suggestions are offered for how arts funders can make meaningful contributions toward a more inclusive and dynamic cultural sector, and a fairer, more democratic world.
