What does this mean for the balance of donor support within communities? Are arts and culture holding their own in the face of internal business pressures or have corporate staff and policy changes marginalized the case for the arts? How can GIA engage more corporate donors as active members in the arts funding community? In this session, corporate donors share internal realities and creative solutions that have yet to prove their viability.
