Brave Futures is a dynamic and tailored programme to support arts, culture and heritage organisations to review their business models, build dynamic future plans and make difficult decisions.
Given the global challenges of the last few years, it is likely that arts, culture and heritage organisations may never go back to operating in the way that they did before.
Sometimes, having conversations about change can be difficult. Organisations need structures and a confidential space to work through complex scenarios, develop a viable business plan, change operating models, or, in some cases, think through how to wind up certain activities, close down or undertake a merger or acquisition.
It is important that organisations have a confidential, experienced sounding board to work through this scenario planning. The Brave Futures programme is a strategic consultancy package led by Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy designed for arts, culture and heritage organisations to achieve just that.
Successful applicants for the programme may be experiencing and need support with the following:
- Substantial business model and/or people-based transition
- A changing funding model
- New ways of working
- Planned mergers, acquisitions or closures
- Reducing and streamlining programmes
The programme is for organisations of any size, and all artforms – from small charities through to universities and local authorities.
We welcome applications from a wide range of organisations, reflecting the diversity of artists and audiences for art, culture, and heritage across England. Our definition of diversity encompasses responding to issues around race, ethnicity, faith, disability, age, gender, sexuality, class and economic disadvantage, and any social and institutional barriers that prevent people from creating, participating, or enjoying art and culture.
