FYI – The next posting will be on May 31, then June 21, July 26, and August 16. Starting in September, I will be going back to the bi-monthly schedule. Over the summer I’ll be doing additional updating in the learning resources for each chapter. Lastly, look for new content in the Arts Manager’s Toolkit section of the website by late summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For this week I have three recommendations for you to explore.<\/strong> First, the Nonprofit Finance Fund has a great website with filter and comparison options encompassing data about the nonprofit sector. There was an interesting posting to the NPQ website about using improved technology to increase the impact of virtual museum experiences. Lastly, the San Diego Union Times had coverage about the settlement costs faced by the San Diego Opera when the company parted ways with the former artistic leadership team. I guess this HR issue falls under the subheading of a “cost of doing business.”<\/p>\n

State of the Sector Surveys – 2015 SURVEY<\/h3>\n

In 2014, the social sector generated stories of both promising innovation and overwhelming challenges. In fundraising, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which raised over $100 million from 3 million donors, reminded us of the power of individual giving and the underutilized potential of social media.<\/em><\/p>\n

NFF\u2019s 2015 State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey focuses on the underlying causes of these dynamics by exploring the programmatic, financial, and operational issues facing nonprofits across the U.S.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our 2015 NFF Survey Analyzer at survey.nff.org allows you to investigate questions that cut across sub-sectors, budget size, geography and other dimensions.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Marriage of Art and Technology<\/h3>\n

Sometimes, a visit to a museum may not be possible for individuals with disabilities. For many pieces of art, access is an insurmountable problem. Consider the stairs of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the tiny elevators within Eero Saarinen\u2019s Gateway Arch in St. Louis, or the unusual dimensions within all planetarium theaters.<\/em><\/p>\n

Enter Beam, a new technology that allows users to interact with remote locations through video and audio. Beam Smart Presence systems, as they say on their website, \u201ccombine mobility and video conferencing to deliver an immersive communication experience everywhere that conversations take place.\u201d In the words of Scott Hassan, CEO of manufacturer Suitable Technologies, \u201cIt\u2019s all about making communications easier and reducing the barrier to communicating through technology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
