Thinking Beyond Nonprofit:
Strategies for Sustainability and Solidarity
Description:
In the face of rising threats to nonprofit status and heightened risks to vulnerable communities, the time is now to re-think our reliance on nonprofit structures.
How do we protect assets and activities?
How do we structure solidarity efforts and move the money to where it is needed most?
This presentation offers prompts for re-thinking how we (re)structure artmaking and art support on the level of single organizations, partnerships, coalitions, and networks.
Content includes the different elements of organizational structure (entity, tax status, policies), each of which are strategic levers. The presentation also covers hybrid entities, prompts for bolstering organizational nimbleness, and ideas for putting solidarity into action through different legal structures.
