Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy

What we do

Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy transforms the fundraising knowledge, skills and levels of success of arts, cultural and heritage organisations.

Working with Trustees, CEOs, senior leaders, mid-career and new and emerging talent, Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy empowers cultural professionals to harness the considerable opportunities that fundraising offers and to develop diverse and entrepreneurial practice, building and growing a skilled fundraising workforce.

Cause4 leads Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy with consortium partner, the University of Leeds. Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy is an Arts Council England Investment Principles Support Organisation (IPSO) from April 2023 – 2026.
