Reviews for The Artful Ask: How arts organizations can build better partnerships & lifelong sponsors

This book gives real world examples of the benefits art support can have on the economy, to business culture and employee engagement. The author effectively outlines the power of crafting the ask effectively to build strong relationships between arts organizations and business. A quick, worthy read for both non-profit leaders seeking new strategies in fundraising and for business leaders interested in ways to enhance employee engagement through philanthropic initiatives. Great read! Everyone benefits when corporations support arts and music. Build a better world together through investment in great non profits supporting the arts! If you're a fundraiser in the arts, then I highly recommend Henry's book, The Artful Ask. It offers a lot of helpful talking points and ideas.
