We’re seeking guidance on how to pursue general operating grants to support our cultural center and museum, which is housed in a designated NYC Landmark. While we currently receive some city and state funding, the cost of maintaining such a large facility is extremely high—and as the organization’s sole staff member, I don’t have the capacity to focus on expanding our funding sources.

In this session, I’d appreciate advice on identifying potential general operating funders, understanding what they look for, and how to best position our organization for support. Any insight you can offer would be a tremendous help to our work and long-term sustainability.
