ACHF Arts Access
Utilizing a consultant, we hope to do a deep-dive analysis of our financials, reviewing current programs/offerings for return on investment and determining funds needed to sustain the Centre today and what will be needed in 3-5 years. Our board will complete a two-year resource development plan and create a fund development cycle. We will undertake outreach and engagement planning for volunteers. We will also identify target audiences, develop an annual plan of marketing/engagement activities to reach key audiences, and plan membership drives and fundraisers. Each Centre program will have a return on investment completed and documented and ongoing. A documented determination will be completed of the funds needed to sustain the Centre and what will be needed in 3 years/5years. Any funding gaps will be identified and documented. A determination of the desired funding mix will be documented. A Resource Development Plan will be completed. An initial 90-day plan will be implemented. A Volunteer Outreach Plan will be established and documented. An Annual Plan of Marketing/Engagement Activities (to reach key audiences) will be documented. A membership drive will be completed. At least one fundraiser will be completed.
