The Arts Council in Buffalo and Erie County presents its technical assistance workshop series “Workshop Wednesdays: A Series of Technical Assistance Workshops to Guide Arts and Cultural Organizations and Individual Artists Through Times of Economic Challenge.”
Today's workshop is Long-term Development: Not just surviving but thriving. This workshop will be an overview of the development function for most cultural organizations. It can be implemented in a one-person office or with a staff. It will look at annual funds, membership programs, and fund raising initiatives which are specific to each organization. Both government and private foundation grant programs will be discussed. Discussion of long term funding for the organization in the form of Capital Campaigns for bricks and mortar projects, endowment funds or venue specific initiatives are all part of the workshop content.
The workshop is presented by Adair M. Saviola, Director of Development and Marketing at the Buffalo Zoo. A 1973 graduate of Niagara, Adair also holds a Masters in educational theatre from New York University. While at the Buffalo Zoo, Adair guided the Zoo’s membership effort to an increase of more than 100% as well as increased in the Zoo’s annual fund and dramatic increases in sponsorship revenue. Ms. Saviola has been instrumental in raising nearly $30 million to implement the first phase of the Zoo’s new $75 million Master Plan.
