Why? Because they have access to funding that nonprofits don\u2019t have: venture capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonprofits don\u2019t get venture capital \u2013 especially nonprofit arts organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not? Tradition. Bad press. Overly restrictive \u201cbest\u201d practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public has been taught (incorrectly) that nonprofits and their employees must scrape by, no matter what. They\u2019re pilloried if they want to run a deficit budget in order to invest in anything. Nonprofits, especially arts organizations are only allowed to raise enough money every year to do the work they do in that particular year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, there are multi-year pledge\/gifts. But even so, they are usually not designed for making the nonprofit arts organization more impactful to their communities. Too often, they\u2019re for multi-year projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way in which your nonprofit is allowed to get venture capital, when you ask around, is through a throat-strangling endowment fund that rolls off a whopping 3-5% of its value to your nonprofit\u2019s budget each year. As a Ford Foundation executive once told me, \u201cIf you\u2019re not rolling off 20% of your annual budget from your endowment, you shouldn\u2019t really have an endowment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, when nonprofit arts leaders do long-range planning of any kind, they think in terms of survival instead of thriving. They have no financial incentive to change course when necessary. And when they do change course, they have to expend a great deal of personal capital and psychic energy to gather buy-in from all the other stakeholders. Meanwhile, they have to run the current version of the arts organization, <em>even when they know that their future is doomed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the photo at the top of the article suggests, they are forced to fix the plane while flying it. Even if the plane is breaking down. Even if it\u2019s going in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it would be more successful if it were a Vespa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/501c3.guru\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artsjournal.com\/scenechange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vespa.jpg?resize=1000%2C563&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artsjournal.com\/scenechange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vespa.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artsjournal.com\/scenechange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vespa.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artsjournal.com\/scenechange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Vespa.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop. <\/strong>If you run an arts organization that is flailing because it refuses to act as a charity, and has become an obsolete, elitist vestige of some sort of golden time 50 years ago (that likely never occurred), you have to find a way to stop<strong>. <\/strong>It\u2019s not the best way to go, but if you can\u2019t raise venture capital to cover the initial losses of the new, impactful version of your arts organization, that\u2019s the last arrow in your quiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop.<\/strong> You handicap yourself by trying to continue an old, unworkable model of \u201cart for art\u2019s sake\u201d and tweaking it to gain popularity as your sole goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop.<\/strong> Especially when you already know that change is not only necessary, it\u2019s the only path to sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop.<\/strong> Land. Let the current passengers deplane. Look at the plane and marvel at the fact that no one died while riding in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start the conversations with your community leaders about what they feel are the most important needs, how you can help solve or mitigate them with your arts organization, and why your company is best-placed to do those kind of indispensable activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the hard part. <strong>Get some venture capital.<\/strong> Find the financing to run a big ol\u2019 deficit budget for a year if you have to (there\u2019s no law that says that you have to present a break-even budget every year). That\u2019s the kind of investment instrument that keeps entrepreneurial companies going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change the dynamic of donations not as play sponsorships, but as task sponsorships that span the lifetime of the organization (and not for the engagement of a play, exhibit, or other artistic venture). After all, why is it unthinkable for a nonprofit, regardless of its ability (or lack thereof) to bring charitable impact to its community, to lose money, but a for-profit, which has access to billions (trillions?) of dollars in long-term venture capital to lose billions of dollars when it does nothing but care about money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wage gap, wealth gap, and trust gap is increasing, <em>even though we\u2019re more aware that inequity exists than ever before. <\/em>Is this why so many young people are eschewing their dreams of a better world through the arts? Is this why there\u2019s a nonprofit skills gap even though thousands graduate from arts management programs each year, taking with them the kind of debt load that wages from a nonprofit arts organization cannot currently help pay off? And is that why those same students, people who have a passion for the arts, are leaving their chosen field to go work for whatever tech company will pay them the most?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scenechangebook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artsjournal.com\/scenechange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/wealthy-young-businesspeople.jpg?resize=1000%2C563&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artsjournal.com\/scenechange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/wealthy-young-businesspeople.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artsjournal.com\/scenechange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/wealthy-young-businesspeople.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artsjournal.com\/scenechange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/wealthy-young-businesspeople.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Imagine if even half of this brain power went toward fixing a major problem in your community.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your leadership have the courage to stop the current inessential nonprofit arts organization model?
