In preparation for the 6th World Summit on Arts and Culture (13-16 January 2014, Santiago, Chile), it is timely to explore to what extent government arts funding agencies have a role in encouraging support for the arts from the private sector.
In 2003, IFACCA published D'Art Report 7 Encouraging Arts Philanthropy: Selected resources, which presented some results on how governments encourage greater philanthropy for the charitable sector through enhanced income tax provisions. In the ten years since, the global economic crisis and developments in cultural policy have significantly changed the landscape for arts funding.
The objective of this new research project is to provide a preliminary mapping of policies, models, strategies and actions that arts councils and ministries of culture undertake to encourage support for the arts from the private sector. It will also explore examples of cooperation between public arts funding agencies and the private sector, including through public-private partnerships, new investment models and social enterprises.
You are invited to respond to the questionnaire, or to send it to the most appropriate respondent from your country. The questionnaire is available here: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1342958/D-Art-No-46-Government-s-role-in-encouraging-support-for-the-arts-from-the-private-sector
Please note that the deadline for responses is Friday 27 September 2013.
The results of this survey will be analysed by the IFACCA secretariat and circulated to all survey respondents for review and feedback.
A draft report on the analysis will then be discussed by IFACCA members at the CEO Leadership Seminar, to be held in association with the 6th World Summit in January 2014.
If required, further research will be conducted in 2014 and a final report published thereafter.
